"do you write mostly about sad things, or happy things?"
"oh, 50-50," i say.
but really,
let's be honest.
i write what comes easy.
if i could actually embody sadness or happiness
i would not want to tear apart this parchment
water can be drunk fastest lukewarm
and it's rare my pens see the true extremes
i'm good at pretending, dear kate, very good.
most would call it sad or angry
i call it half-ass
see,
i've never found my voice, still
and i am looking under all the bookshelves and lampshades
i was born four weeks early
so it's possible it never developed,
isn't it?

this is really good ya know,
maybe not extremely angry or sad
but subtle and therefore very true.
the last couple lines are really killer, though i would rather hear you write happy things, i know that the happy times aren't always what we write about.
