the love lasts so long

I don't know how more people haven't got mental health problems Thinking is one of those stressful things I've ever come across And not being able to articulate what I want to say drives me crazy I think I should try and read more books And learn some new words My sister used to read the dictionary I'm going to start with that I'd like to travel I want to see India, and the pyramids A whale and that race with all the bicycles in France I'm not sure about rivers, they scare me But I love swimming, I'm good at it And when I swim I count the laps And this helps me relax When I was younger I saw a house burn down And I walked past it for the next six years Derelict, black, chalky and dangerous I wondered if squatters lived there I'm still not sure but I know there were never any parties cause it was a shithole After a while the council got around to tidying up the town They decided it was an eye sore so they tore it down Behind the house was a wall with a few bits of crappy graffiti and the word 'CUNT' written on it in giant letters And now I walk past that I like going to the park And I like walking through it I like taking my dogs there And friends, and I like being alone I like flowers and simplicity I like compassion and thoughtful gifts I like being able to shout But I wish I could be quiet When I'm quiet people think I'm sad And usually I am Sometimes when I'm at a really noisy train station One of the ones with the big fat trains like Kings Cross I feel like putting down my bags and shouting things out because I've got something to say Don't you want to share the guilt? Don't think, just try and sleep
