I'm That Guy

A literary meme inspired by MercerMachine and his post that started it all.

I'm that shy little boy, who followed the popular kids around from a distance so that I might learn their secrets and be popular too.

I'm that guy who needs a visit to the dentist and get his teeth cleaned. I'm the guy who needs to spend money on himself and stop drinking bad coffee.

I'm that guy who cares too much and doesn't care enough. I'm that guy who's too patient and too impatient. I'm that guy who knows too much and says too little.

I'm that guy who would sing only when no one is around to hear him. I'm that guy who would play 伍佰 songs over and over again. I'm the guy who tries to cry but can't. I'm that guy who punches watercoolers so that I can feel something. Sometimes, I feel like doing that again.

I'm that quiet guy that leaves his room door open, in the hope that someone will stop and talk to him. I'm that guy who replies "I donno" with a smile when asked how it's going. No one figures that it means I'm down.

I'm that guy who, tried as I might, could never get you to love more. I'm that guy whose heart you keep breaking. I'm that guy who keeps coming back for more.

I'm that guy who's just doing the best he can.
