And This Will Never Be Taken From Me By Anything

 

 

            When I listen to

            Paint it black

            I will always be

            20 and writing

            Like a madman

            On my living room couch

            In my broke-ass house

            Living off 30 bucks a month

            In Bellingham

 

            When I hear Stranger

            I am fourteen in a bath

            In Tacoma

            Writing for girls

 

            This makes me

            Personally immortal

            Until my consciousness ceases

 

            And this is why I write
