I am yelled at by my family again
This time, it is for waking up late
They try to keep me in their tight chain
But they can't forever keep me in their prison of hate

I care not what they will do
Ground me, hit me, or take my paper and pen
But as far as pens go, I always have two
They can't take that away, nor can they take my zen

Poetry is my getaway from my life
Stressful and oppressive is what life likes to be
People love to have their strife
Especially if it is against me

Is it so wrong for a boy to write?
Is it so wrong for a boy to be sad?
Why must it always be a fight?
Why am I seen as bad?

I was never understood
That's why I never had any pals of my own
Although if I tried, I probably could
But they would eventually leave me all alone

But my poetry never judges my quirks
It listens like a loyal friend
Being sad and bored can have its perks
I don't care if it isn't a trend
