Shallow

   
can't sleep tonight  
been feeling all kinds of ugly  
I know you want a fierce write  
   
this isn't it..  
   
shallow in nature  
lusting after the way a person writes  
the way they look  
   
deluded not knowing anything about them  
they could be a real arrogant bastard  
I always make demi gods out of poets  
   
it's my way to escape  
into their vistas  
because the windows in my world  
   
are smeared with nicotine, alcohol haze  
one that blocks my view to the finer things in life  
I want a clear concise outlook
   
stating this with slurred words  
hoping my drunken thoughts  
turn into something that isn't shit  
   
I always chase what I can't have  
if it looks like they may show feelings for me  
I turn and run as fast as my shaky legs can go  
   
poets come and go  
we're all just a bunch of arrogant asses    
well except for my beauties you know who you are  
   
love for you will never be tarnished  
ladies my feeling for you are real  
be true to yourselves and don't fall for a poet
