Where Flowers Bloom: Collected Poems About Childhood, Love, and Growing Up

song i am too mute to sing

i step into the shower
wash myself of your sins
i look at the mirror and wonder
when i can see myself again

my girlfriend kisses my cheek
says its really not my fault
but i can't help but wonder
why did you do this to me?

will it always be this way?
seeing you in my sleep
will it always be this way?
please, i want to sleep

my mom says i'm her favorite daughter
but if she had another
would i still be her favorite daughter?
