Gorgeous artwork: "Portrait With Smoke II" by the talented Rae Klein
lyrics
I don’t wanna be tough
Among all these subtle feelings
But I just shutter up
So I’m sneaking the lane
Holding this momentary calm
Cause I’m honest like that
So I beg at my life
My mouth a cussing muscle
Cause I’m hungry like that
I don’t wanna be scared
I hear children on the lawn
And I cower and fit
When I enter my life again
I clutch along the edge
Cause I’m stable like that
But I don’t wanna be tough
So I soften up
And topple awful in
Okay Alright
I can be in my life
Okay Alright
Let me feel it
My life
Okay Alright
Here it is
My life
Alright
