No REGRETS isss YOLOFrvr

Did you know Did you know Out there across the world There's beauty past your imagination So much to discover I want the tranquility Somehow, someway Vietnamese country side soothes me No phone, a washed up relic Drowned earlier on the trip Mother was insistent on selling it I said no This is my device that shows my truth A testament to my life I was forced to before the sleuth As is Above It is Below Hidden feelings began to fester They began to grow It was hard to hide my distaste My mind wandered at times To a silly Internet race My mind took (almost) every sign But looking out below What called me so often So thankful, balcony access I'd sit out, cough, then Maybe sleuth Maybe write But instead, I'd listen I'd sit tight And return as the sleuth Through all this patience Writing and recollecting For all the subconscious beliefs I was forced to stay detecting My own music washed up Thankfully a brand new phone Thankfully a sleepy girl Thankfully a new device left home Now I'm here Akward and ***** But I left here to be near The Vietnamese family of one of my "peers" Let's not get into that, shall we? It takes me to times of old I look forward now I stand straight, I stand proud I stand bold If I put this right I could sleep Feel fulfilled If I put this right I know it was real Perhaps some mistakes Left to explore But as I walked up and down The dark corridors Of a dark, boutique hotel Downtown Hanoi, Vietnam Rain drenching the seats on our floor So up the stairs I went A very empty building The upper levels were a bore So up again Walking was a chore And then I sat I'd been on the rooftop Garden of wonderous sights At the Dai Lai Flamgino A Monday, even more before I had the time of my life There was an impeccable view You weren't with me But a real one woulda knew Woulda knew to get some Brewskeis Let's chug a beer Knew it would be fire Get the whole family up here! A Vietnamese sunrise isn't something to waste But they stayed inside and chilled Because I smashed in my face It's ok, I'm fine I got tipsy off of beer, not wine (After not before) (THAT would be a chore) Those people are chill I love them so much Now that I'm back I'll be learning Vietnamese and such Let's see these next years I believe them to be fair I'm probably a rebel But nothing against squares I used to be angry Against vulnerable energy Filled with rage Now I sit quietly Release all that passionate hate >:)
