#9 In

#9 In

Its an in joke that I’m not proud

That I’ve never been in with the in crowd

I’m a proud outsider

A socially awkward collider

Making social situations so difficult and strange

That there’s no one left who wouldn’t say I’m deranged

But that’s fine. I’m an introvert at heart

You’ve got to go down to discover my genuine emotional part

I act like a tough guy

But flat out that’s a lie

I’ve been damaged too many times, don’t cause it’s tough for me to reveal

Like any human being I’m a guy that can feel

So if I seem cold, ruthless or hostile

I’d beg you, just give me a while

I may not be popular, blessed with a prom king fate

But if you get to know me it’ll be worth the wait.
