die just a little on the inside,
before they catch you,
or it starts to hurt.
then you think about it all the time.
tell your friends and laugh about it.
call your dad and play it cool,
he will never know.
write it down on paper
to help you figure it all out
in your head.
type it up for the digital friends
that you met at college
a while back,
and swore to stay in touch with.
drink until you're happy.
smoke until you're sane.
if that still doesn't work,
don't lose hope
or forget to call your mom on sunday,
she's always so happy to hear from you,
even when you don't know why.
learn to play your new pink guitar
electrical white stripes and cover bands,
or another song you still like enough
for your roommate to play on the radio at night
when no one is awake to listen
because you're too cool and too old too.
take a year off
say you're just looking into it,
so they never really know for sure
