better

because i know.

you're better than drunken weekdays,

and ******* lines on the bathroom counter,

because you can can flourish faster

than the marijuana plant in the corner.

but what is live fast

die young

if your summer nights aren't filled with dreams

because the alcohol clouds your vision.

 

you're worth more than one night stands

and that cigarette between your teeth

but satisfaction is an inadequate mask for need,

 

and desire just gets us into trouble.
