Listen to poem:
A slight hesitation Overlooking what's written Need yet unfilled Something tastes different Aggravation, is this all we get to be? I am somewhere else, same destination So bitter, not sweet Taking words from situations Placing them into sections Inhale this treat "Fortune favors the brave" Remain with comfort We tell you what is beautiful, you are all I give No choice in the equation What shall tomorrow bring? Surely I am not asking too much Not all is on the lost Like "a bull in a china shop," just interrupt Letting it be passed around, skip me Picture-perfect last week Sinking into the cushion Wake me up when the sun returns Watching her is a never-ending comedown Drugs for the innocent
