paperboy calls it quits
a struggle;
an attempt to make, to create
a brand new pair
of words to dangle from,
to strangle your supply of forcefed air
you breathe;
you're underneath
a sheet of time,
pressure you fake and shut away
you turn around the face you wreck
with perfection that you've drawn
on your curtains
but you hide from the canvas
and the ink you use is a part of you
but the pen's just a trophy.
your heart's set on money,
your money's where my mouth is,
but your mouth hasn't a thing to say
about where, or who
you've been.

Thanks!
