I know a boy
Who is known as a geek
Beat down daily
With fist and cheek

I know a boy
Who is a smart, sweet boy
Always trying to please others
And often made another’s toy

I know a boy
Who will do anything for attention
Be it funny and cute
Or land him in detention

I know a boy
Who used to be quite respectful
But gave into peer pressure
And has slipped into the resentful

I know a boy
Who tried too hard to fit in
With a crowd
That never should have been

I know a boy
Who will love you to death
And then strike you down
If you go away a step

I know a boy
Who weaves lies like fire
That scorch and sear
All that he desires

I know a boy
Who will eat you alive
With his wanting and holding
His need and drive

I know a boy
Who will always scare me
For without the lies and swearing
That boy is will always be me
