Poison ink

Kid grows up tricky

Drinking poison ink from the nib

But don’t blame the pen blame the kid

Never had anyone to break **** with

Anger worn on his sleeves bunched and twirled

“I H8 U” and **** The World”

So he found a way to show his need for it

Changed his mind about loneliness

Anything he can do to fit in

Goes from sharpie sXe on his hand

To wanting to smoke **** with the band in the back of the van

Never quite made it out of his head

Always felt like it got out of hand
