Jawbreaker

For Esme

Jawbreaker


Seems the competition 
Is sweet like a slap in the face 
This is a 3-legged race 
It was your meanness 
That told us you might have faith 
Your spine keeps getting in the way 
You're a fool to think they care what you think 
In this poem some rise, some sink 
And which one are you 
You budding star, you 
Too dark for shopping malls 

No hooks, no leads at all 
Forget your
Dare to be naked and real 
You think they care for how you feel? 
Never trust an artist 
Who tells you he has a choice 
You can't run faster than your voice 
Sing your life despite the spite it may bring 
It's your life to write, so sing 
Just bring the drama 
Shameless and crawling 
Over glass and underground 
Esme neds her story now
So don't break down
