A poem about life and looking ahead in the world to the present
and when you're taking a risk,
you've just gotta keep breathing.

hold on,
let go,
don't wait for me.

just tell me what i have to do
to get through to you.

honesty pays.
a fair price.
so please, don't lie to me.
cause lying hurts so much more.
and it's expensive.

you, darling, are such a typical heartbreaker.

don't you worry,
this has never been about expectations.

old school, now?
don't you think you're so cool.

sometimes people try and tell you something subtly.
listen to them.

i'm just trying to save you
before you start to fall.

it's not about who you are,
it's about who you wanna be.

everything sounds better in my head.

if money grew on trees,
i'd buy my way through everything.

no really.
you're not dramatic,
and i'm not sarcastic.

this is it.
your last chance to shine.

graceful smile.
take a bow.
wave to the audience.
and run away.

not sure what you're getting at.
can you spill it out for me?
