He did what now??

He listened attentavily to his peers.
Silencing the thoughts in his mind.
Concerned more with his image than his emotions.
Denying the butterflies in his belly-
The sensations down his spine.
The signals were apparent,
Neurons firing in his brain.
Fireworks of lust go off when he sees her
But he passes her by.
He listened attentavily to his peers.
Silencing the thoughts in his mind.
He settled for mediocre,
Sacraficing his true desires.
Denied himself of opportunity.
Choosing acceptance over happiness.
What they think of him over what he thinks of himself.
