Long auburn hair bellows behind
I’ve got so much to choose from, but I’ll just change my mind.
These hazel eyes are the mark of mystery
Yeah, once I’m famous, they’ll make some history.
Got my pencil tucked ‘hind my ear
Life for me ain’t very austere.
I’ll leave to where the wind is takin’ me
No permanent home, this is what I call free.
Gimme music or gimme death.
I never knew the taste o’ your breath.
But I don’t care.
My heart still survived ev’ry freakin’ tear.
A notebook under my arm
Yeah, y’know I’m worth three times the charm.
Let’s keep traveling, c’mon, let’s just get away.
Don’t tie me down, ‘cause I’m bound to betray.
Gawky, yeah, and not too pretty
Dude, sorry, but that’s just me.
I’ve got guitars and screaming pounding in my head.
This pain doesn’t make me wanna prove my blood is red.
Just give me sunshine and a clear blue sky
And maybe some o’ that Boston Cream Pie.
Some consider me a nerd, but I’m just as clueless as you.
Ha, I’ve got way too many library books overdue.
There’re some friendships ya just gotta reminisce.
See ya somewhere beyond this oceanic abyss.

Sensitivity
I’m a bruise
Not one thing
Could excuse
The pain I’ve felt
The blows you’ve dealt
The heartlessness
That left me crying.

my father,

your words reverberate
in my vertebrae.

thirty three words
shake me to my core:

my child,

i have to make it
elsewhere
before my times runs out
because
you have many years,
but i do not.

i don’t belong by your side
like i thought i did.

you didn't even sign with
"your father".

an eye for an eye
leaves the whole world
blind.

still undecided
about everything there is.
a troubled person
pondering recovery.
my eyes are always open.

"I seek greatness,
but greatness
does not seek me,"
is what they told me.
They said
it was because I could not
live up to their expectations,
so instead
I decided to die down
with their disappointments.
