Fear and Fearing

Is it so bad
you found out I’m
stark raving mad,
at least part-time?
Or could it be
how you now see
that you are, too?

You’ll Never Change

I've let it go
for far too long
But now I know
how it is wrong
You can go dwell
somewhere in hell
You’ve earned your burn

I used to be,
how would you say…
a maple tree!
On a spring day!
Sweet syrup sap
dripped from the tap…
Now, I’m a lime.
