Now I know it ain't right, but I decided I hadta'
/ Us poets paint life, but don't get recognized
till afta' / So I faked my own death just to see
what would happen / As I taje shallow breaths and
wait for people's reaction / It was funny at
first, but I had to hold my laughter...wait /
Before long I was on display at an open casket
wake / And I'm the main attraction who draws a
crowd. A freak show of sorts / Good thing my skin
is pale enough to pass as a decomposing corpse /
Frozen in my thoughts, laying stiff...playing with
/ People's emotions and awaiting a kiss from
praying lips that I hate but miss.

She didn't show...although she sent a card with
flowers / How considerate. That little bitch would
make me sit in my car for hours / Heartless powers
start to devour my patience...it gets me violent /
I'm ready to fly shit and end everything like
"I QUIT!" Then again I sit deathly
quiet...biting my tongue / Just excited that some

kids...who were invited to come did / I'm the
center of attention...the talk of the town / It
ain;t all that profound, but on this special day
of mine I'm the one the universe revolves around /
It's like a birthday...kind of. I also found that
it's the worst way to find love. White doves
battle black crows in one of the back rows / And
everybody my ass knows back home is sporting black
clothes / Looking glum as usual...it's all too
familliar / I put the fun back into funeral. My
morbid humor'll kill ya' / For all that it's
worth...the people who I thought were jerks / Were
putting on the water works and it sorta hurts / My
momma stroked my hair with so much care but hardly
spoke / Now my heart is broke, and yeah...I
should've let her in on the joke / But I'm
honestly choked up, and I'm stuck holding back my
tears / As I absorb the atmosphere, "I wanna
turn back I'm scared!" Then a hand touches my
shoulder to calm my nerves / And something odd
occurs because I heard my father's words / So I
got disturbed...as he expressed what he's never
said / What bothered me the most is that I
remembered...he's dead / I manifested destiny. The
best and worst of worlds has come true / As I'm
buried alive, in the back of my mind echoes his
words:

"I love you."
