here are the lyrics to my “Why I Write” verse i did at UBC.
just a little story about a girl….*sigh* …
i was fresh into high school i aint know what bein cool was
tested by the status quo and rules of cool that ruled us
a rebel in that sense i did just what a fool does
i kept to myself, that quiet kid who do none
cuz wasnt like everybody, i didnt drink or party
i didnt think that id meet someone who was kinda like me
and then she kinda liked me, and then i really liked her
so i built up all the courage to say “see you later”
and yea she said “yes” but all the balls i had left
to hug her in the halls, sayin “good luck on your math test”
still shy to talk, say what i feel inside my heart
did not give what she couldve got, she knew that too, she called us off
heartbroken, even more soft-spoken
words caught in my throat and i was choked
i was hopin i could let her know emotions just wont ever go
but vocal chords were severed, yo i never chose to be so closed,
so i wrote it down instead
i took a pen and paper, and ran em through my head
squeezed my heart between the lines til the page was turnin red
i said all of the things that i wish i could have said
but that was like 7 years ago, its all good.
psh yeah its all good hahahah
dont even worry about it. its all good…
its all good.
