We toast drinks
My family will so love this place
I think and feel warm inside
I'm so glad I don't have to
Introduce them to someone or wear a heart on my sleeve
The last time they were here, I remember so well
Got so worked up about you losing your ID
You didn't and couldn't
Lost it long-boarding
Like Peter Pan
Just need a man that will have a beer with my father.

Close out, tattoo lined arms
Asks us, computer party
A beautiful queenly lady friend sits across from me
Drinking PBR
We vent and recite our recent stresses, lost love
I felt the desire to call my most recent disappointment
On the entity entitled my cell phone
But decided against it.

Just need a breath
A test, some rest
Space, away from it all.

Looks like surrounded by folks not the best they can be
At this particular juncture
And I get it, I so get it
But I'm not gonna let that **** my anniversary high.

An endangered gorilla was shot
It immediately made me think
'Bout the war on guns
Black lives do matter
Its a shame we even gotta chant that
Can't we all just value each other?

My best friends twitching their lips
At those that got nasty attitudes and egos
Why you think you can talk like that
Smack like that, bite your lips with all that pretension
I sit across the table, no make up
At times
Though I get lost and dark lock it away
But I can't forever hold hands.

Get it together, get it together
There aren't any coat tails
Find what your own passion is
I came here for me
I sometimes want to punch and scream
Into the urban city sunshine.

She vaped and took pictures of herself with a selfie stick
I hope you take one big deep long look
And remember

The moment you sat across from me
And said
You're too brilliant for your own good.

Nah.
I got a ***** but ain't no wimp.
