My friends tell me
to forget it.
Girls like her
don’t go out
with guys
like me.
They say it
like I have
a disease,
Just because
I’m shy
like them
And good at school
and belong to
the AV Club
like them
And have acne
like some
of them.
None of those things
mean I don’t
have feelings.
Even Galileo
knew that all things
fall at the same rate
Whether they’re
light as
feathers
Or heavy
as stone,
like me.
