Nameless Wonder,

That's my name -

Or rather, should I say,

His name.

|||

He's my helpline

When no friends are in sight,

No light is in sight,

Just glistening teardrops

And lethal tools

That could relieve my pain.

|||

Nameless Wonder,

He's really a guy who's inside of me,

Who urges me to get a pen,

Or grab my tablet,

The moment my throat burns from crying,

When I start getting reclusive

And tell people I'm fine when I'm not,

When I'm certain I'm suffocating -

But I'm not...

He orders me to grab a pen.

|||

Nameless Wonder,

My alter ego,

The most honest guy I know,

He says things the way they are,

He sees no worth in secrets,

So he'll tell you

That a girl made him horny -

Without really pointing it out...

In about 30 lines overdosed

With contradicting thoughts -

And he'll tell you,

That he can't sleep

By writing down 3 poems

On insomnia...

|||

And as annoying as he can be -

When he exploits romantic meetings

I have with girls to write a poem...

Or when he recites poetic lines

While I'm trying to study for a test -

With the fact that his death

Seems to be nothing but mere fiction...

I sincerely adore him.

I adore him

When he makes people laugh,

I adore him when his works are relatable,

I adore him,

When I have the secret bragging rights

Of claiming to be this teenage poet

That has to be the most confusing

Or confused teenage boy

Known to man.

|||

I adore Nameless Wonder,

Because he's the only one

That speaks for me

When the fear of judgement

Or rejection

Grips my tongue

And paralyses it:

He takes the reins of my brain,

He holds the pen like it's his baby

Because as long as he can write, he's got no bane...

And his existence

Acts as an outlet

For the thoughts

That make me feel

Uncomfortable

When they lie in my head -

Unaddressed.
