WASD
The keys on a key come naturally to some one like me.
I'm a nerd, the school definition of that used to be something like…
The socially inept, adept at hiding from the public behind a screen,
Another word for freak,
the only consistency ever kept would be in a kill streak,
The only thing you succeeded at is beating a game
in one day when it should have taken a week.
Stereotypically represented being weak.
Every day we are asked if we are going to waste our lives,
wide eyed, at a bright screen
sitting with a slouched lean,
unable to even keep our rooms clean,
And although you know exactly what they are saying
They are saying, that's not what I mean.
Yeah…. It is.
If you wonder what the cause is for us hiding in a dark room,
barely speaking… Ill tell you, and I won't be tweaking what I say.
This is the truth…
It's you….
The one's who stand up tall and try to be top dog,
The one's who do everything in their power to hog attention
Then down talk us saying we are pathetic… just another freak.
How we will never amount to anything we just reek of failure,
before we even try you would lie to us saying we… we are nothing…
W. A. S. and D. If you played a computer as long as people like me…,
you automatically know where those keys are.
Like me…. Who could only hide behind a screen…
and for the longest a search for a friend could strain the mental state.
For the original nerds who grew up…. Bullying was worse...
it only took hundreds of years to notice… bullying is a problem….
For the bullied it robbed them…
Of freedom…. Of expression
And the right… to have self esteem.
Nerds know these keys…
and they know what I mean when I say them…
I'm a nerd….. but that's all I could ever be.
Any moment we tried to work hard towards anything else, we were beaten….
Whether or not it was fists or words didn't matter… it all hurt.
IF you find someone like me but didn't find another release…
Ask them why they never wear a short sleeve shirt…
And I wish life was a little less cruel but it is what it is…
Just like we are who we are…
But I want to tell you, despite everything that's happened to you
They were wrong…. You're a diamond,
that just needs get rid of the shell of coal..
all you need to do is etch away the lies you were told since child birth…
You have a priceless worth TRUST ME. I KNOW.
There is only one of you in existence. Yeah some look like you… some are similar…
But there is really only one you and I have one message for you.
WASD… remember these keys and remember this.
We Aren't the Socially Deprived.
We are a bunch of wall flowers on a snaking vine that is growing in shade…
And we've grown beautifully…
I'll say it again….
We Aren't the Socially Deprived
Show the world that this wall flower.. thrives.
And not just that we've made it out alive..
We have lived our lived.
