The Sea Urchin
I guess I'm a huge d***.
 i must be, for i hear it often
 what a dunce
 beseeching constant approval
 from the jesters
 and kings
 equal in absence of
 qualifications
 
 their titles
 paralleled only by
 the furthest most fingers of
 this fractal-ed reality 
 in randomness
 
 girls b****
 that i'm a jerk
 but what time have they paid
 to know me?
 none
 
 sad in my cellar
 of solitude
 i exclaim
 i am the middle of three boys!
 reaching out to lift the vale
 of the sweet girl
 I never catch,
 Slipping through
 The treads of my fingers
 Like white sand
 I sing in the saddest tune I know
 where and when will I find my love
 why must I toil through so many trials 
 ended by my perceived
 discourtesy
 I do not know
 So wiping a single tear from my tendered cheek
 I look up, harder than before
 Further receded beneath my many protective layers
 Waiting I suppose, in the sickness of self-pity
 For a gentle maiden, of an unknown dimension
 To peel back my shells
 And simply smile when she sees whats inside me
