The Loneliest Boy in the World

He could be standing in a crowd

But still find himself all alone

He could go for a dance 

But still stand there waiting for a chance

That would never come 

Cause he was hesitant to ask someone for a dance 

He was the loneliest boy in the world

He could go to a party 

Only be sitting on his own

Cause there was no one there known

And he was too chicken to go up and talk

So he would sit there quietly, uncomfortably 

All on his own 

He was the loneliest boy in the world

He could go to a social and not dance 

He just  stood there and said watched others do

It wasn’t like he didn’t know to dance 

Or he wasn’t a good dancer 

He just had social anxiety 

Of not being able to dance well

And of being judged by the people there

And it would never  be easy for him

To dance with someone he didn’t know 

Only add to the stress to his frayed nerves

He was indeed the loneliest boy in the world

It wasn’t that he was bad looking 

He was handsome and smart

Better than any one at his age 

Fit and lean and pleasant on the eye

He wasn’t chiseled or muscular 

Or someone with a six pack 

Like a typical gym rat

But he was kind and caring and articulate 

Someone who you could take home to mom

Is what they would tell him

But somehow he couldn’t find someone 

To call his own

And when he thought there was something there

It would dry down leaving him a bit of a mess

Lonely and all alone by himself 

A bit overthinking, a bit anxious 

He was the loneliest boy in the world

It wasn’t that he was an introvert 

It wasn’t like he couldn’t hold a conversation 

It wasn’t like he couldn’t dance

Or he couldn’t be a good leader

His leads could be one of the best any day 

It wasn’t that he was creepy or clingy

Or a social butterfly 

But what paralysed him was a social anxiety 

That kept him him from tapping into the confidence 

That he knew he had deep within him

But unable to find his way there 

He tried hard 

He tried his best

To get rid of his title of the loneliest boy in the world 

But somehow he couldn’t shake it off him and so he remained the loneliest boy in the world!!!!
