i know too much

i know too much

A Poem by V M Smith

what do i say?

good luck, you'll do great

when i know all the things

that could go wrong

stop, wait, it's not too late!

you can back out and say

that you forgot a date

you scheduled last week

and 

y'know

i have to go

or

um

he'll feel bad...?

wrong drugs

wrong dose

wrong leg

who knows

i know the dangers

i see it every day

i watch it turn out just fine

but i definitely know the ways

too much muscle relaxer

not enough sleep

how are the nerves doing?

aw, it gives me the creeps

i see the cut a lil too big

the screw a lil too small

and after it all

you end up in this rig

that no one can work

but they're supposed to know!

didn't anyone show

them how to pull the line

and tie up the end

and twist it up

and knot it down

then spin around, around

loop-de-loo and

slip it in your shoe?

now that don't look right

seriously though...

you'll be fine

as long as they know

who i am

and that i'm not afraid

to go to prison

or move to mexico

y'know

if anything happens

to my baby sis

I fully appreciate reviews, especially when they tear apart my work in an attempt to make it better. Rip, tea, break it down. Tell me how you do not like it, how to make it better. I want your opinion. Truly.
