sometimes i feel just like that ten yearold
from mount auborn hospital
when i last saw you
you were almost 50
and i felt blue so i tried to be like you
grew out my hair stuck out my tongue and tried to write a song or two
and i hope you can hear me from the sky
i know you're not that far
im not that religious but i think i see your spirit
in the way i dance with my skinny frantic hands
ill make art thatll impress my friends
god damn this cycle never ends
but i believe that i can be different from that ten year old in the hospital
with the pale white walls
and the windows that stayed closed
and the paintings bought in bulk
watching iron man and hulk
in the waiting room with a sense of imminent doom
and a certain ceaseless pain rattling my tired brain im
fried but not forever every days a little better i guess its all up hill fomr here

look how much i've grown
the last time you saw me
i was barely five feet
now
i've got another foot under me
growth spurts, back hurts, i still got flat feet
im still skin and bone spend too much time
on my cell phone
we die alone so we better start to like ourselves
or else stay stuck in our shells
i got tv and a remote to sit down and watch my
latest manic episodes
i suppose im alright most nights but right about now
my chest feels kinda tight
stop pointing fingers and
look at the moon through binoculars
sisyphus boulders roll us over
but we'll never fall flat like stanley
break the definition of what it means to be manly
be
whatever
validate
eachother
i see you in a million, brilliant colors
practice what you preach don't be to mean be friendly please good grief

im gonna
Validate myself
every night i'll take me out to the movies and
sit until the movie ends
then wait til i feel good again
and im alone for now
n i should start to like it
or else
i might not be who i truly am
if i stick to this miserable master plan of
dependence
my emotions
feel so strung out
but theyre valid
i understand you're pain
but if you dwell it wont ever go away
