I sit there, Fingers tapping the table, I’m going nuts, My condition unstable. Should I do it? Should I not? I feel panic, Liquid courage I think! I’ll just take a shot! I’m a lightweight, So that doesn’t help, I’m self-sabotaging, I do this to myself. Is this wrong? Is this right? I think, I think I should do it, You’re all I think about at night. Wow that was creepy, I take it back, Only actually not really, I totally meant that. But if I do it, what will it mean? My heart’s skipping like crazy, I’ve had too much caffeine. I go outside needing some air, Even if I did do it, What of it? You may not even care. God this is awful, Embarrassing, and totally lame. I decide to listen to music, But all that I hear sung is your name. Frankly, I don’t even know you, Well I do, but not well enough. Ugh, you’re not even that great. What ******** I’ll call my own bluff. I go back inside, pray the Ave Maria, I wanna throw up. Ah **** That shot was a bad idea. ***** this, ***** you, Why can’t I handle this? I’m pushing 22. I feel so lonely in this, I’m like a teenager, nobody gets me. I hate sports, But I have to give it to Gretzky, I've gotta do it now, For my own sanity's sake! That ****** is right, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” So I stand at the free throw line, My typing is my dribble, The “send” tab is my jump, I lift my finger, and there it goes, I’ve officially shot my shot.                                        “Hi :)”                                         Read at 5:41 p.m.

Shots
I sit there, Fingers tapping the table, I’m going nuts, My condition unstable. Should I do it? Should I not? I feel panic, Liquid courage I think! I’ll just take a shot!
