Look at me, I’m just a boy
But what else can you see
Mud brown eyes and charcoal hair
Are a few features of me
My body is not a beauty
I’m rather skinny and pale
But like any story written
There is more in this here tale
Some call me athletic
Some call me a nerd
But like any book or movie
I’m more than just two words
I draw and read and create
And words are a friend of mine
I would tell you more
But I simply haven’t the time
