"My Room - How Stupid"
written 5-1-95 at 8:12pm

how stupid
how stupid the day really was
people, 
   thoughts,
      things...
boy, everyone is getting on my nerves

how stupid the day really was
i should have just stayed in bed
i never should have talked to you
how stupid
i never should have talked
every time, 
   every day
lock myself in my room
not in my room, 
   i don't have one 
      room
the space that's clear in my mind
   that's where i'll go
      lock myself in my room

please come in, 
   and talk to me
please come in, 
   and smile with me
please come in, 
   and laugh with me

i feel happy,
   i want to cry
i think i'm sick
   please hold me

why is the day so stupid?
i know why
   because

laugh with me
   shut up
