"...When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." -John Lennon

I'm high as a kite
you say
Colorful and
Free
Like a yo-yo
with my moods
Up then down
But I always
Come back up to you.
Always by your side;
Loyal,
a puppy on a leash.
A puppet to your eyes -
You are my puppet master.
Like a loose sweater thread,
just pull me and
I'll unravel. And
I know you don't know
What you want,
But please stop
Stringing me along...
