Do What I Want
Do what I want...
Oh, what a taunt.
I wish I could.
There's no way I should.
I want to go home
I want to write a book
Sit back on memory foam
In a cozy little nook.
To stay home with my kids
And my wonderful wife
To shut my eyelids
And sleep without strife
I want to talk to the people
Who wander my mind
To sit and slowly pull
And scribe as stories unwind
For my family, I want to care
To give them all they need
And always be there
So they've lives they want to lead.
I just want to function
To not give my all
Just to end in destruction
Not to fall and fall and fall
I want to like the man in the mirror
To not see myself with disgust,
As something lowly, inferior.
I want to be worth your trust
Do what I want...
Oh, what a taunt.
Maybe I should,
But there's no way I could.
Whatever. Just do what you want then.
