i no longer get drunk under the sun
in public parks where children play
talk to girls who get on their knees for fun
and fight boys who are more broken than me
i grew up in a city
with too many faces
for any one person to stand out
you grew among fields
and still to this day
i'm tortured searching for your face in the crowd
What do you do when your  best  just isn't enough?
Well I'm just a light bulb, and you deserve the stars.
I opened my eyes
And looked up at the rain,
And it dripped in my head
And flowed into my brain,
And all that I hear as I lie in my bed
Is the slishity-slosh of the rain in my head.

I step very softly,
I walk very slow,
I can't do a handstand--
I might overflow,
So pardon the wild crazy thing I just said--
I'm just not the same since there's rain in my head.
Don't compliment me,
I might start thinking I'm worth something.
I have to stop writing 10 words and
actually write a **** poem or two.
Maybe someday
I’ll write about somebody
Who loves me back
a 10 word peom

Me.
I wish I wasn't me.
Then maybe things would be easy.
We will always be together
I will never let you go
I guess that forever
was a long time ago...
Sometimes love is just a word you say
