Chapter 4
Trust me you’re gonna need that kid you’re gonna need that kid to remind you that every weed is just a flower just trying to make shit work and every jerk you encounter is just another someone who somehow forgot (it's ok) to need a hug (it's ok) to be afraid. When i was a kid… i played hopscotch with the lines that draws us and lands on the conclusion that second hand clothes at least the benefit of experience and i’ve got a 137th hand heart broken up apart and stitched back together at the seams i’ve cartwheeled across balance beams made from the broken finger bones of people who could not let go of this LIFE i still love the night i love the fact that if you squint your eyes just right stars look like porcupines of light stumbling across the night trying to write apologies for all the unanswered wishes from the times we once wished upon them sometimes sometimes i still wish most times i wished i didn't have to, i wish i didn't have to wish, so i guess saying that is i hope, i hope i never forget that kid who grew up inside me. You just seemed to laugh a little bit longer smile just a little bit longer loved a whole lot stronger world's first official awesome longer taking awesome from door to door take as much as you need don't worry about me i;ve got more i’ve got a candy store filled with whatever it's going to take to make tomorrow sweet i’ve got two left feet and no bed time i'm still not brave enough to fight, but i rock the slumber party come nap with me first one to fall asleep loses… first one to fall asleep WINS the race stops at the start and the finish line is where it begins so this time first one to lose, wins… i know we never meant to turn our hearts into garbage bins it was an accident i know the headlines about us giving up were a misprint and really just bad reporting i know why we’ve been boarding up all the windows from the outside in, we’ve been doing it ever since day one they told us to start letting things go and i know we get into the habit of throwing everything away… but your heart is a door knock and every time it beats it’s just that kid’s way of asking can you pleases come out and play.
