#34 - Oh Man Oh Man

Oh Man, this life is weird

Living in a small town is a crazy thing

You run into all these people you’ve met over the years, all these thoughts lingering

I’m sitting close to someone I know right now

She doesn’t know I’m here, writing this down

I have not seen this person in a few years

It’s making me nervous

She’s with a lover, close to bringing me tears

Not tears of sadness, but rather joy

Pureness in my heart; Feelings I had as a boy

The name of my being is Ben

An identity so formal

Please excuse my existence

I am only normal

I am flawed

I am trying my hardest

To understand life

It can be the darnest

Enjoy this piece, maybe I’ll write some more

But for now… I’m washing ashore
