Was it silly of me

To share my thoughts so literally?

Public broadcasting

Wasn't even a contention to me

It was my natural way

To try and make it through the day

Now I'm okay

I wish I'd kept it hidden away

I need to straighten up

Grow up instead of smoke up

Have I learned nothing

From the events that haunt me?

Sleeping easily

Is something I would like to be

Tossing and turning

In the night, my chest is burning
