lately ive been counting stars but not my blessings
         i remember to go to school but i forget the lessons
i can see my talents
           but not for what i am destined
i haven't thought of the answer
             because im caught up on the question
my heart is beating f a s t lately
                   my patience is spread thin
my emotions are


    u                              
          p              
                    and

             ­               d      
                                o
­                                     w          
                    like the ocean  
                
left alone somewhere at sea level
feeling sick from the rocky motion

he's knocking me   d
                                      o
he's kicking my ***          w
he's getting another punch i**n
