see my room in the window,
warped and doubled.
i wish i were dead;
sit on my bed to write a poem.
sometimes i feel weighed down
with gifts i never asked for.
i'm sorry i hate them so;
i'm trying to do what you would do.
someday i'll be grateful
(we all learn to be grateful)
we learn not to run from things that only mean to kill us.
we try not to run from things that really mean the most to us.
we learn not to run from things that only mean the worst for us.
we try not to run from things that really mean the very most
