I've smiled at all the sunny things that could gladden my once heavy heart
And run toward every frightening possibility, grabbing it by the throat.
I've conquered all the things my mind thought were worth acquiring
And reigned in every delight that always seemed so out of reach.
I've ripped off every errant creeper wrapped around my restless feet
And gathered every tiny precious detail to build an indestructible entity.
I've lived through all the experiences my barren soul sought after
And made sure that the blood from each throbbing vein was put to use.
I've also written every ridiculous line there is to write
And killed some boring time before getting ready for Saturday Night!
