The Boring One

A love song. This guy at my former workplace was always asking me about myself and I wondered why he was so interested since I think I'm a pretty boring person.

To be fair he doesn’t know me

To be fair it doesn’t slow me down

There’s a chance

A possibility

You talk to me

How great is that?

You want to know me

But can’t you see?

I hate to talk about myself

I’m the boring one 

Who only talks about work

I’m the boring one

That means I’m practically a jerk

I’m the boring one

Oh no!  How could this be?

I’m the boring one

I’m the boring one

You ask how I am

I ask you back

You say you’re great

It’s a repeated track

And then the weather

That’s where we all can agree

It hurts to talk about myself

I’m the boring one…..

You were the worst one

Investigating my plight

You always asked me

What are you doing tonight?

Pathetic answers

Made me avoid you

It kills me to talk about myself

This one is great! Especially since you kept repeating a line over and over. You're a natural at this stuff!

I like poems that repeat a line over and over.
It works quite well in this poem.
