a late introduction

Hello Paris

Hello I'm crazy
Hello I'm hopeless
Hello I'm not sure
Hello I'm excited

Hello my name is Aidan but who's going to memorize it,
Hello my name is Aidan but you'll never see my name
You'll only see my words and my feelings and my face
But you won't connect us
This is weird

Hello I'm not real
Hello I'm a mess of emotion hiding inside skin

I'm not the face on the box of cereal you used to eat for breakfast

purely because

it was the breakfast of champions

and we all wanted to be champions then

Hello hell is real to me
Hello you'd never guess

Hello my name is Aidan and I'm in love but I guess teenagers can't be
She's a firecracker,
She has a nasty noble side that I can't understand but it only makes me sink deeper into the mire of her mind
She's got curly hair and she's not afraid to be brilliant

She'd kill me if she knew I was writing about her, but I don't think I'd ever tell her I love her
Hello my name is Aidan and she's not afraid of me but I'm afraid of the both of us
I'm afraid of everything

Hello I'm introducing myself
Hello you told me you wanted to know
So hello I'm giving you what you wanted
Funny how we never seem to be satisfied though
So hello I guess I'm pretty funny

Hello I'm Aidan James Coral
And my pen is not mightier than my sword
But mighty isn't what we need
I'm just trying for some kindness which is all we need
My pen is kinder than my sword
And I am Aidan James Coral

I'm planning on being the new kind of mighty

Hello I'm Aidan James Coral.

Hello I'm Aidan.
