Finish my thoughts 

Finish my thoughts SO LOUDLY

So that I might finish them too

I never spoke to the man

Sitting behind his dusty shelves

Not once

Even as I bought the statue of liberty for just a dime

That man with his worn face

His eyes that spoke of so so much

I knew I let him down

I’m like a puppy surrounded my giants

I feel small and so excitable

Their tall faces look down on me

Full of sorrowful knowledge 

I wish I wasn’t so quick to catch on

This cage built to look like a monument 

These tall giants my wardens and inmates alike

Fear every day

For a gun

For a knife

Who knew such a small bottle could scare such big giants

I don’t want to be pessimistic but…

They all know what I mean

Even the puppy

I know too much

Im growing tall also

Just like these giants
