School of Love

i refuse to fall on my human flaw
as an excuse for my errors
i err yes cause i am imperfect
but more because i do not know
i am a student in your classroom
learning you, your heart, ur needs
learning what is required to make u happy
i am a child here
eager to learn wat is required
to take up the responsibility that is ur heart
and as a student, at times i will fail
at other times i will excel
but i shall not be ashamed to fail
for it is in failing that i learn
and never shall i be slow to apologise for my errors
because this class matters to much to me to be taken lightly
so i will spend sleepless nights endlessly
i will read every manual
i will do wateva it takes
till i recieve the graduate honor
that is ur heart

Nerves

This 6 shots of gin
2 shots of whiskey
8 pints of beer
3 rolls of weed
2 times puking at the corner
1 time vomiting in the bathroom

This sweaty hands
6 lads proding and pushing
A bartender cursing and swearing

This is 2 more shots of gin
a whole pack of breath mints
me totally disoriented hoping i dont remember this tomorrow

This is shots of E and
2 more spiked drinks

its taken all this for me to walk up to you just to say hello
its taken 5 hrs 28 mins and 17 secs to get me here
standing in front of you just to say hello
2 catch ur attention for the possibility of a smile,
maybe a name

only for your damn boyfriend to walk in and take you home....shit!!!!!
