My brain is full of clutter like the attic of a house
And it needs a decent cleaning, it's more filthy than a mouse
It's disorganized beyond belief and things are hard to find
But there are countless, endless ideas inside of my mind

When I talk to "normal" people who are "average" and "plain"
There are nails on a chalkboard that scrape the inside of my brain
I can't relate to sports and church and midday shopping sprees
I'm bored by most things people like, I'm difficult to please

I don't think people get me, and I wander 'bout alone
I'm naked on the outside and honest to the bone
I'm not ashamed of anything, and I just say it all
I know that I freak people out with my huge set of *****

I made a voodoo doll of you to stick some needles in
I filled your heart with knives and stuck your face with pins
And every time I cry now, I make another hole
I'll stick you full of needles and crack open your skull

I visited the witch doctor to have her shrink my head
But she misunderstood and she shrunk my heart instead
So now my chest is empty and my head still grows and grows
It's so huge, I lose balance and fall right off my toes

I stole a wizard's spellbook to find the magic words
Shouting gibberish into the wind, it's just so absurd
I would yell a thousand spells to make my heart complete
But my words just fall flat and then blow right down the street

If this is all a test, I think I'm failing
I want to be the best but I'm no good
I rest under a stone with a long shadow
And nest under the roots and rotting wood

I leave a part of myself behind for you
Perceive this as the way you want it to
Achieve another praising if you can't see
Believe the only things you've seen as true

Bitter bits are bitten as my heart falls through the floor
My life is rewritten as you wander through the door
I'm swollen and smitten, I won't lie, I want much more
It's my heart you've been hittin' and it's you that I adore
Hey! Get out of my head! But, no. Please don't.  lessthanthree, loser.

She shouted from the roof tops
Her love for him
And how it would never stop

He simply stared at her
In utter shock
nobody could ever love me
Or so he thought...

She smiled with her arms spread apart
Waiting for a response

He stood there silently
Unable to move but wanting to walk
Walk away from the lies
Cause he'd been hurt too many times

She begged and pleaded
Trying to make him believe
It's the truth she said

But he couldn't respond
Simply turned around to leave
women only hurt me
Was all he could believe
Too much pain and abuse
For those lies to become the truth

She sunk inside herself
Filled with pain and so many tears
After years of trying
She finally faced her fears
Only to be hit with rejection
Imperfections of love
Shown at there finest
She couldn't stand her thoughts...

He slowed his walk
Thought about the past
Suddenly came to realize
This life is your last
And there on that roof top
He may have finally found some hope
So he stopped his walk
Turned around to accept the truth
Only to find
That she had jumped off...

I finish twenty five percent of the things that I start
I've too many ideas all at once
I end up with humongous piles of unfinished art
I'm always switching around all my wants

I finish twenty five percent of what I begin
And sometimes just twenty five percent of that
And often it's an even smaller fraction
And I doubt I'll finish this lesson in math

I finish twenty five percent of what I attempt
And I try to change, but life has got me beat
Even my poems aren't exempt
A lot of my poetry is incompl
