I’ve driven self along my quest I think it might be time for rest To take steps back and then assess What it might mean to be my best

You are eternal. Your essence will always exist. You will always be, You. Enjoy it!

Hope you are a voyeur Hope you want to see What it truly means Be this human thing Offering my soul

Shake your ass Make a pass And let’s get down to business I’ve never seen A better dream

Lord and Jesus Christ Don’t forget the lice Spiders, ticks, and skeeters All the heeby-jeebers They’ve got their own place

If they push you Push back And go for the throat

Wish I was a shepherd With a flock of sheep Sitting on a hillside Grass beneath my feet Watching over loved ones

I crave the things I like And not the ones I don’t If that makes me an addict, then Apologize I won’t

Don’t give me your heart I can’t bear that pain Being lonely hurts less Than giving you my name

I feel you You feel me Our love happens eventually With an up down Turn us round

The world that I was born into Is not the world I want I work to try to get back to A one that values plants

I write poetry Put my heart into it ‘Cause there just might be Someone that gives a shit

I might be self-absorbed But you can’t call me selfish I work upon Myself To help us savor our dish

People tell me not to think About my own demise But what if that’s the only thing That brightens up my eyes

You’re nineteen You can choose who to be Nineteen Maybe fancy and free Nineteen
