The Day You Were Born
He hit me..! mom did you see?
What is all this OOAAHHH! in my head? This thing I will call-
sound...
Where did the warmth go?
I can't breath..
who are all of these creatures..
crazy beings.., is that called smiling?
Looks as though they intend-
to eat me... unprepared, naked, me.
So cold, can't they see I'm drowning?!?
I want to go back where my eyes don't
scream in my head,
back where it was warm..
mom.., why?
Hello new one, it's life,
the ticking continues..
to the end.
Let the comparison begin,
for life!
why can't you be's forever on!
crazy, isn't it fine
that I'm just me..?
Why can't you be!
more like your brother,
smart like your sister,
pretty as a peach,
skinny as a beanpole,
curvy and fit,
taller than my ex,
or tan and brawny,
as Hercules.
When will you grow up!
when will you listen!
when will you stop whining?
Please let me be happy,
please let me be...
just me.
