Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses

Moses Campbell- Wallflower

countless suicide attempts and all his money was spent chewing gum and cigarettes to keep his knees from shaking
he never thought before you spoke took back everything you meant and from an early age
you learned to inhale and forget
and who are you? and who are we? photographs and diaries spend your life working hard spend your life studying and then you die and then you die and then we read all your books and then you die and then you die and then we criticize your work
you figured it out you figured me out so good i know you want it they said you would
you’re getting to close and its all too much afraid of the human touch
give the kids all their candy whatever makes them happy give me seeds and ill plant trees learn from your mistakes  my parents never learned from me
and blasphemy on the walls of the bathroom you wrote god is gay and no one cares, even if you left a note your suicide will go unheard maybe cause you never spoke
you were a wallflower
you were my only hope
your songs never left your room
you never showed your poetry
dont you die, dont you die
dont you dare die on me
you figured it you, you figured me out so good
i know you want it, they said you would
were getting too close, and its all too much
you’re afraid of: the human touch
give the kids all their crystal
oh god no
make them hate, give them pistols. fight a war but dont ask why. And oh my boy you’re too young to die
and what do you know about where we go after all of this spent my life wondering but still dont know why we have to exist to be anything at all is beautiful i guess
but i still dont know if i like it
she unbuttoned her dress and she gave me a kiss i’m gonna learn to forget you’re gonna learn to forget
you figured it out you figured me out so good
I know you want it  they said you would
you’re getting too close and its all too much
afraid of the human touch
