SETTLE DOWN

everything you do
can be summed up
to letters and numbers
and awards that they give to you
because you're better than them right?

but i guess it really isnt that hard
i get straight A's and laugh after school at the park
but never to your face

we keep that part locked down
and my writing this poem just shows that
we really are the same

thinking that you know better
you know you do
holding on close
before we let it all go
name on the guest list

but not on my sleeve
never-less my heart

i wouldn't even know you were trying to get in though

hold me cold
dead in the eyes
lost in my soul

heating up in the sunlight
the bright light is so loud
it rings between us  
and makes us feel at home

i cant believe
that i get to live the life of a creative

nothing could have blessed me more
than being able to pick up a camera
and to frame a moment
in any way i see fit

or to pick up a pen
and bring words to life
a way that no one else can

they say the taste is something your born with
not something you can buy

but your parents bought yours

so what does that make you

searching for you
its hot in my room

**** you make me nervous
calling my name

say it louder
make me shout it

but we were young
and this world doesn't want to work for us anymore
