Lukas Ficklin Poet Pantoum

I Don'T Need You

Know that you can sleep well if I’m not right
Grabbing anything to brace my border
Instead of this time fixed to pick a fight
Getting lost in your twisted disorder

Grabbing anything to brace my border
When you carry on with your bigotry
Getting lost in your twisted disorder
You think it’s a joke when you laugh at me

When you carry on with your bigotry
It isn’t just me who can see right through
You think it’s a joke when you laugh at me
I’ve nothing to prove anymore to you

It isn’t just me who can see right through
My insecurity is miles away
I’ve nothing to prove anymore to you
I love me more today than yesterday

My insecurity is miles away
I give you an earned twenty cent goodbye
I love me more today than yesterday
Before you bury me I have to try

I give you an earned twenty cent goodbye
Instead of this time fixed to pick a fight
Before you bury me I have to try
Know that you can sleep well if I’m not right
