where I wanna be

POEM/SONG PT 47

In my room, I consume,

Sweep away the mess with a broom,

Don’t wake up till past noon,

Like to look at the moon.

It’s where I wanna be, not stuck deep beneath.

I get high, nothing matters to me,

I'm free, I'm where I wanna be,

Spending time with me, making memories all alone.

Think I should hit the phone and get to talking,

Need to be a king, find a queen,

And stop dreaming, get to it this minute.

I'm fine when I'm winning, but I die when I'm losing,

I'm only losing.

What do I gotta do to make it happen?

Did I miss the chance?

Took everything for granted,

Now my life is turning slanted.

But I still feel like dancing,

'Cause I missed the chance.

It’s all I really do, got nothing more to lose,

Except to get loose.

I get high and think about everything.

What else do I dream?

I'm loving movies, with each scene I make,

With each scene I break.

I've got nothing more to take,

So now I break,

Ran out, my mistake.
