I'm two dollars short of a brain. Is this an interesting poem to you?

I count my summer days, i'm still feeling this way

I see that I've grown, but i'm still grinding my bones..

*Sigh

The loudness in my head, the boys I brought to bed

I sleep with their ghosts, what do I want the most?

If I could swim off this coast..

I would paddle far across the sapphire ocean, wide

I might find some better friends

I might see a brighter end

But for now I can't decide a single thing myself

What do I truly know?

I'm creative, but where does that go?

If only I were smart

Instead I got a heart

I shouldn't complain

but I just need a brain

(I know how the scarecrow pains..)

Gimme a brain.

Maybe i'd think

Before I jump and sink

Please sell me your brain.

The situation stays, lingers dark and sweet

As I taste its heat, I can't help but feel complete

But not complete in the way that keeps the empty far

I only mean that I'm part of things

I'm not the freak on the outer ring

But wasn't I happy then?

Didn't new things begin?

I remember smiles and poems

Now I never stay at home

Slowly, they're closing in

The sadness drops like pins

Where is my break?

This is life I can't take

Let me have a brain...

The sex rush has dried

The tears been on cried

Now all I need is a brain

And maybe I'd think

before I began to sink

I'll pray for a brain.
 
it's interesting
a few lines I don't think flow well but that's all right.
 
Wow.. that's pretty... deep.

I'm a young adult, soon to enter my freshman year in college, and really, this poem hits home. I mean, I'm not sexually active or anything, but I know that this is a time where things change, and a lot of fellow peers take that course. I really hope I don't end up there, but... wow.

really REALLY good poem. Props to you if you wrote it!
