They Say

They Say

A Poem by SignifiedG

They say he stayed in the shadows to long.... 

Wondering.

They say he couldn't find the bright side. 

They say he thought too hard, too deeply. 

They say he wasn't normal...

...Appalling

They say that he lacked confidence, visual appeal. 

....

They used to say he was somebody... 

'Til he was a nobody. 

They used to say there was a sparkle in his eye. 

They used to say "Hey Man, How's it going?" when he passed. 

'Til he passed to "the darkness," so they said. 

They say he's not a villain, and certainly, no hero. 

They say he has bad breath. 

They say, he's sane on the outside, but not once they get in. 

They say he's boring. 

But they never lived like him.
