My dog wants to sleep
but here I am awake
I slowly type
so that no sound I'll make
will wake
the pup

We're all like fallen apples
that are bruised to the touch
some tumbled from great heights
and smashed on the ground
others took longer to ripe
and others are more round
some are sweet
and some are sour
some are blooming this very hour
I know apples that have holes
bites were taken
and they're broken to the core
some apples are rotten
and some apples are not
but just like us
some apples are in between
and I'd eat them anyway

I worry everyone knows
the embarrassing thing
and they talk
and scrutinize
and judge
and I worry and worry
even though
maybe nobody knows

If you opened me up
what would you find

If you opened me up
would you close your eyes

If you opened me up
would you chose to stay

If you opened me up
would it be too much
would you have to look
away?

My nose ******* hurts
because of this stupid ring
I bought it on the internet
because it looked like great bling

But you know what hurts more
than my stupid ******* nose
my stupid ******* heart
and it really ******* blows
