Country Girl

put me in a cottage and lock the door
ima tell you everything you won't get.
but
lets face it;
i might be a country girl

high fives and shit

you could call it, missing the point?
maybe?
small person syndrome?
    that shoulder sulking sickness

neal's tellin me it's all about perspective,
like all it took was a button
or a light switch.
a shower, or something
get some water on that face

you know, something like   "take a break,"
                        "breathe a little."
      "sit down."
whatever else people are used to saying
in these crushing times

pats on the back type stuff
                            high fives   and shit
     feel good moments for like,   a second.

i dont even believe anymore    all the nice things my poetry teacher said to me.
it's all just a burnt up pile of mess
and things aren't the same
so those words are in the air
tangled up in some telephone pole a mile away
for someone else to get down
and claim

so basically
id make an excellent ghost
a brilliant wall flower

the best fly on the wall you've ever had.
