I guess(lyrical poetry)

There is nothing worse than failing at  meeting the expectations of a friend

 

I guess I turned out diff’rent

than you wanted me to be

guess my eyes have held the saw dust

that you didn’t want to see

guess you’ve gotten out the score sheet

and you’re coming out ahead

guess I’m choking on the words

that I wish I never said.

 

I guess I am expendable

at least that how it seems

guess it really doesn’t matter

what I hope for in my dreams

guess I’m putting away the outfit

that had an ‘s’ upon its chest

guess I’ll be taking up this class again

cuz I’m failing all your tests

 

And it really doesn’t matter

if I’d walk through Hell and then come back

or try to find the pieces for everything that we both lack

guess wrestling the angels won’t do me good this time

guess I won’t have to step outside to go looking for a sign

 

guess I’m one of the better ones

because this hurts like Hell

guess I hope you’ll see the diff’rence

but it’s still too soon to tell

guess I’ll throw my hands up

I don’t want to walk away

guess I’m going to be silent

cuz there’s nothing left to say

 

I guess I turned out diff’rent

than you wanted me to be

guess my eyes have held the saw dust

that you didn’t want to see

guess you’ve gotten out the score sheet

and you’re coming out ahead

guess I’m choking on the words

that I wish I never said.
