Blank page; Early age; Trying to set aside my rage- But all I find is sorrow. My lips sing the same old tune; Passersby stare at me like I'm a loon; Perhaps they wouldn't if I found a new song to croon- Maybe you've got one I can borrow. In the streets, we walk so close; In my head are a thousand poems I'll never compose; But I know I'll never be your morning rose- Cupid must have missed when he shot his arrow. Tonight I lay in my bed, Thinking of all the words I have and haven't said, Wishing I'd just opened my mouth instead- Maybe I'll have better luck tomorrow.

I'm waiting for the day.
Blank page; Early age; Trying to set aside my rage- But all I find is sorrow. My lips sing the same old tune; Passersby stare at me like I'm a loon; Perhaps they wouldn't if I found a new song to croon- Maybe you've got one I can borrow. In the streets, we walk so close; In my head are a thousand poems I'll never compose; But I know I'll never be your morning rose- Cupid must have missed when he shot his arrow. Tonight I lay in my bed, Thinking of all the words I have and haven't said, Wishing I'd just opened my mouth instead- Maybe I'll have better luck tomorrow.
