What I'll Do...

I want to sleep tonight

I want to turn off all the lights

Or think of you

I think that's what I'll do

Yea, what I'll do...



6 A.M. and it is time to get ready for the day

I want to sleep in an hour, hop in the shower

I think I'll dream of you all day

So when I see you it will be the best sight I've seen

This reality is scewed between a nightmare and a dream

Yea, nightmare and a dream



So when I come yelling, don't be surprised if you hear me scream

This life is altered, I can't understand what it means

With all the pressures and the expectations of a prefect you

I cannot be your hero, I'll bleed too much for you

Yea, bleed too much for you



Falling down was never the plan from the beginning

When I felt I was a man and that I had powers

That I could change the world, maybe I can

I'll wait and see, till then, won't you believe in me?

Yea, won't you believe in me



I want to slow down

I want to take this one step at a time

Or maybe two

I think that's what I'll do

Yea, what I'll do...



For You

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I really was just thinking about this sort if stuff, and like most of my poems, it just kind of came out.  I tried to write this one in a little different style- hope you enjoy.
