life would be perfect if i had a giraffe

i want to write something big
so it can be yesterdays garbage
like the things we once loved
we always simply move on with
like the toy you never let go
or the, well you know, your first
like the plans you had for your life
like the better, cause im still stuck with worse
i fight and curse sometimes
frustrated with the present
anger towards past, fear of the future
and a life i'm not impressed with
im stressed with the pressure
of making something of this life
its stabbing at me, and lately
ive been leaning towards the knife
but fuck its whatever it'll get better
at least that's what they say
and you know what it does
until the shit comes back your way
so i convey in that spirit
out of the mouth of Michael
that i write something big
that tomorrow we'll recycle

Thank you Ashley, I'm glad you liked it. It's pretty much how I've been feeling lately. About the title someone asked me what I would if I had a million dollars and my first thought was to buy a giraffe
