BEING THE NERDY-GOOD GUY

Okay...so I was angry/needed to vent so I made this jumbled up mess of a poem...enjoy =D.

This goes out to all my nerd fellas, yea you know who you are.

I'm not talking about those 4.0 guys in with the cool crowd so they were protected by the shroud of popularity.

I'm referring to those guys who, in a class full of misfits, got A's on their tests and were constantly harassed by ignorant classmates and would have been broken if not for their hate-proof vests.

Yea you know who you are.

Being a nerd is like being a Peter Parker instead of a Bruce Wayne, once people see our ideas they acknowledge our presence but until then we are stuck with the pain of being an "us" instead of a "them", and that friction that comes with the repetition of isolation leads to contemplation of life and whether we deserve to be in it or not...

Being the good guy is a load. Its a load of stress, a load of crap, and a load that constantly stacks  on top of your backs until the earth below you shakes, rattles, and cracks and you question the authority that bestowed onto you the "gift" of being good

Yea you know who you are

To my brethren who know that being the nerd is about being the guy who stays in on a friday night to study/hang out with his  close nerd friends because in the end we value life not as a constant party, but as a game in which survival depends on putting others ideals before our own needs

To all my good fellas who have attractive female friends with boyfriends not good enough for them, putting them down in the dark when we know all good girls deserve to be treated like flowers, given love and sunpower never meant to be stepped on by abusive men. But as our female friends complain we keep our thoughts hung and a knot in our tongue because we made a vow to all be there for the people we love, even when they make dumb decisions that don't fit them like a glove.

You know exactly who you are

To the nerds who were riddled with insecurities and thoughts of failure, who keep fighting to see light of a new morn because they had a vision of how to help the earth to be born. The nay sayers and haters who once had their way are now scared because in this football game of life, it is the nerd who have the ball on this final play.

To the good guys who know that doing the right thing is never easy...who know that nice guys do finish last but it is not a bad thing, for we can see how the future turns out for the bad guys, the guys who mocked us, pissed us off, and made us wish that their hearts would stop. We can see while we may not finish first, we certainly do not lose...

So to all my Nerdy-Good guys;

Next time someone asks why you still have your V-card, take pride in knowing its because the right girl just isn't part of our world yet and when she does come along we will have a bond that extends beyond the shallow hook up culture of the world around us.

Next time people ask why you hold doors open for everyone who comes through you smile and say "sometimes in life all we need is someone willing to open a door for us, after that we can find our own way"

And finally when someone asks why you chose to be a nerdy-good guy, you say you didn't chose it, but rather you were chosen for it!

Yea...you know who you are
