THE WORLD NEEDS BARTENDERS (Acceptance)

Dear Miss Take, Miss ill-Intent,
Thank you for your interest,
But the chaos you accompany is no longer of use.
You're only as sick as your secrets. So set 'em loose.
Looking back, its all a blur
Feelings fade with my sunburn
So its said, 'You're either wise, or you're in love.”
Standing in the sun, with an apple and my dog, feeling wise
The grass is brown under my heel
In this haunted town, a few moments still make the highlight reel
Fewer still as blissfully hopeful as the words: “Now Boarding”
You belong in a zoo
I would come and visit you
To study all your oddities, you won't trouble me
And for all the years, I'll refund the tears you spent on me
Now I know you couldn't stand
To sit and watch me struggling
Sinking more and more each day, never giving in
Until I lay my bones in layers of sandstone, you know I can't
I may never be a rockstar
I may never be a doctor
I may never be a ghostbuster
I may never be a father
I may never be healthy
I may never be an astronaut
But I am God-damn sure I'll never be fooled again
