Don't lock me away in neat lines Though I know how that matters sometimes It's this fear that I can't overcome Though it's something that needs to be done It's much easier to say it in rhyme Though I know it's uncalled for sometimes But don't judge me by just what I say This is something I fight with each day And if perhaps I meet you someplace You'll be kind not to make me lose face I'm not the leech of celebrity Though I'd like the attention to me Don't tuck me away in old dreams I'm much more alive than it seems Be so kind as to not make me small Though I'd rather not be here at all I'm quite shy when it comes to these things But inside I am budding new wings There's no definite patterns locked here It's just words that I wish you could hear I don't envy your charm and your fame I just wish you down with us again.
Reason for writing:
I try to be a little down-to-earth every now and then.
I hate being angry for too long, it never solves anything.
