Blue Boy
He's sad today. He's sad today and he doesn't quite know why. He's upset he'll never be who he wants to be. Nobody ever lets him grow. He's a child. He's a child who has grown up far too fast. He's a child who sometimes does things he wishes he didn't. Nobody ever lets him relax. He's crying his eyes out. He's crying his eyes out because everybody around him is angry. He's crying his eyes out because people blame him for what he cannot control. Nobody ever lets him breathe. Everybody asks what's wrong but they never really stay to listen. Everybody tells him to grow up but they never give him a chance to. Everybody points out his problems but never lets him fix them. They force him to run like a broken record. People don't listen to him the way they should. People judge too easily without hearing the whole story. People forget about him nearly instantly. He's sad today. He's sad because people have yelled at him. He's sad because he's been told he isn't good enough. He's beginning to believe that the words people say to him are true. Nobody will ever tell him something new. So for this, he wishes to say "I'm sorry, I'm just sad today".
