I can dish out, but I can't take it.

I donated blood yesterday
They told me "good job kid you saved three lives today"
Skipped a few classes so I could "rest" but neglected to eat.
But you know me, I'm invincible to any situation and knew I'd be "fine"
I drove home from school, Camel in hand, Radio blowin' out the speakers
Came home to console my aunt who is going through an abrupt and sudden divorce
when all of a sudden everything went blurred
and a minute later I awoke to myself lying on my kitchen floor
and my aunt screaming my sisters name.
I passed out from lack of sugar.
If this happened five minutes earlier when I was driving,
I probably wouldn't be telling you this story today.
Guess I'm not that invincible anymore.

I've been doing a lot of rhyming lately
I am drawn to the lyrical rhythmmmmmm

In these parts I thought we'd never see leaves again.
Windows are being rolled down welcoming the warm breeze with open arms.
Bare arms, white from being hidden from winters cold.
Its the cutting of the red bow, the grand entrance to days that define life here on the shoreline.
Days aren't like they were though.
We move the clocks ahead an hour and days seem like they are flying by.
My youth is like sand running through an hourglass.
Half empty.
Future hanging over our heads and each recent event makes it seem so much closer.
It's here, in a few months we'll walk onto the stage of reality.
We'll throw our hats along with our memories.
We'll say our goodbyes and shed some tears and the next day it will all be cleaned up
and life will go on as if that night never happened.
We'll feel like strangers each time we come home.
So for now we just have to love and let love
before time tramples over us and were just apart of that
