To turn me into a blond bombshell.

Regret beats down like rain
Longing is like a still aquifer
No matter how I cup my hands
Regrets slip through my fingers
Filters underground to longing

All my failures transpire
Comes down in a torrent
The soil drinks all my regrets
Pools...

Blood pressure...

A wimpy kid full of anxiety,
Lean frame meek face all I got,
but I strolled blithely.

The first page got my expensive dreams covered,
A trip to the Alps in the shimmery...
