Poems I Almost Burned (Along with My Sanity)

Herd of Sheep

I never want a herd of sheep

I never want to fall asleep

I never want to buy in cheap

And don't you put me down

*

I never want to see through green

I never want to turn sixteen

I never want to call you queen

So watch me stand my ground

*

I never want a new pet rock

I never want a new outlook

I never want to bite the hook

And you can't stop me now

*

I never want to give to you

A rainbow bear or silver shoes

I'll never let my ties run loose

You'll never have me drowned

*

Why do you bother trying?

What makes you give a shit?

Is your seatbelt's broken?

Doesn't your ego fit?

*

I never want a herd of sheep

I never want to fall in deep

I never want to feel you reap

And don't you bring me down

*

I never had a chance I guess

I never seized to try my best

I never thought to quit or rest

The sheep will come around
