I’m a child
I’m young and inexperienced
I’m naive and guidable
Easy to fool
Easy to lie to
For lies will always be truth to me
I just want to be taken care of
Someone to care...
you can rest now
you can rest now for the sake of your long lost sanity
feel held by your own warmth
and be solaced by gentle conversations with your wounded conscience

the end of thought,
“The End!”
what a monstrous fate;
but that’s just it,
one ending does not a conclusion make:

are now the things I hold closest to my heart —
and it’s you,

My friend, Kurt, and I
cruise at 110 down a small stretch
of our glorious nation’s
arteries,
made fatty and cramped

To create a world, sublime,
On which a great people emerged.
Their numbers and empires surged,
Their expansion growing ever faster.

A rose is a rose
Is a rose is a rose.
A rose rose in defiance
From cracks in the road,
A rose helped a man
To charm his betrothed
That one fateful evening

I honestly just hate you right now.
I hate that you didn’t choose me.
I hate that it’s not me that you love more.
And I hate that I’m mature enough to realize that it’s not you I hate.
