Its gotten really late
don't know how ill sleep tonight
there are so many things to think about
who are friends
who aren't
school, boys
everything is running through
my mind
so much so i don't know whats real
so much so i feel blind
tell me I'm your friend
tell me you don't hate me
tell me you'll stay till the end
read all my tragic poetry
while i was up at night
read about my worries
my fears my dreams
its getting late
there are so many things to think about
let my darkest dreams come true
the morning
let me make it through the long hard
night.

It is better to write for yourself and have no audience than write for your audience and have no self.
