An Ode to NJ and AJJ
Oxygen or Nicotine
I'm not sure what lets me breathe
Sympathy or apathy
I'm not sure what makes me bleed
The next line has room for me
But I'm not sure which words would be
Fitting and willingly come from my mouth
Naivete in philosophy and curses spewing out of me
Make it hard to figure out
Whether it's tomfoolery or lack of productivity
Or fear of me and disbelief that conjure the doubt
So I sit and eat the potpourri
Think to myself so carefully about my friends and family
And how to spit it out
Think change is good apparently but my mind drifts unbearably
Wondering what'd my parents be
If their hearts gave out
If I endure despairingly and live a life of charity and worship oh so daringly
Will I live throughout?
