I have a bad attitude
dull as mud
I pretend to be reckless
 just sitting on the shaky
fire escape
by my window wondering what now
just that java jive and mean electric buzz
today i am the sun.
i wonder if maybe it could be the day of my birth
my life could move a bit faster. But the climb is oh so tall
thank you oh my life my soul
i rave too much about what i've done wrong
and the things i've born
witness to
grief and pain, and alone
 
 my hands shake nervously, and i guess it's ok, it turns out, i'm digging  the sky
 and time goes by without a happily ever
a seagull yells. the waves beat upon the grass
i want it to sing.
 my soul is reawakening
i am laughing inside out 
 i'm not myself anymore and god is a hose with a kink, im the lightning bolt, that
can't hit kites

the trees shake
as their laughter fills
my ears.
 
i'll surely have better luck
tomorrow.
