what is an emo kid

He's sitting there quietly
In the corner of his room
Painting his nails black and crying
He can't breathe but
He isn't quite sure
Why on the inside he's dying
Is his heart really exploding
Or is his knit sweater
and goodwill tshirt
just a little
too
tight
the girl he's pining for
the only hope for true romance
already has a date
so he stole her pants
he feels like he hurts so much
that he's going blind
but really he just has
3/5s of his face covered
with hair parted at the side
No one understands him
They just don't get it
Despite the fact that
Half the guys in his school
Wear chick pants too
But he's really different
He wears converse shoes
One time he heard a rumor
That girls like guys who feel
and he dyed his hair black and cried
So his story goes
So he's so emo
Together they talk about
How their comfortable suburban lives
Are so miserably oppressive
So wonderfully expressive
He writes her a poem
He'd set himself on fire for her
Poor guy has more swings of mood
Than emo girl and so
Emo girl finds her jock
And Emo boy cries until another emo girl
Sees how in touch with himself he's been
And he plays his sad pop-punk emo songs
Again and again and again
