I can't do the things they do. I can invent.
-David Levithan in "How They Met"


It’s raining crickets and raining men
Raining unwanted things like me
The band is playing, the team in playing
Playing and losing like me
The crickets are dying and I’m stuck crying
For reasons unwanted, like me
Friends-to-be-thought aren’t so anymore
Sisters are shrugging off hugs
Long silent daddies are being self centered
And tears are sliding down throats
I’m throwing the game, throwing the day
Get rid of the things like me
I’m dreaming tonight, dreaming of grey
Dreaming of running away
I’m covering down, covering for you
Covering up thoughts like me
It’s raining crickets and raining men
Raining unwanted things like me

The author's comments:
Abstact works are much more appealing to me because they can mean something completely different to every person who reads it. Because there isn't a definition for any one phrase it can mean what ever you want it to mean. Abstract equals interpretation.
