I'm spent No more lyrics of love and metaphors The words fell out like mouthfalls Each rock struck a new poem Each glistening rainbow a new idea Each droplet of mist my persistence
I'm spent I thought it was beautiful to see life To truly see what it's like to be free Now I envy the lovestruck fools Blinded by their individuality Ironically enveloped in community Head up *** and foot in mouth
I'm spent What's the use in giving my thoughts Everyone either relates or claims false I'm a liar, a beggar of attention ***** of Babylon I beg on my knees Waiting for one true prince to pick me Like that daffodil I pressed in a book I don't want the prince, or the flower I want to be alone. But I hate to be alone.
