You Want To Be Like Me

Chew on the words I spit at you,
Dance to the songs I sing.
Swallow every kiss I throw at you,
Bury me under your skin.
Mask your shadow so it's just like mine,
Taste the liquor I drink.
Lick the poison off my lips,
Think the way I think.
Scratch my back I won't scratch yours,
I'll laugh at what you see.
Imperfection and painted smiles,
And you want to be like me...

    This is one of those pieces that makes me want to memorize it, so I can say it to people, and then laugh maniacally...
    It brought to mind a certain strip from the Johnny the Homicidal Maniac comics...that's awesome, Johnny is the most amazing thing ever...kudos to you.
    Thanks for entering, and good luck.

    wooooo.... this is the best you've ever done IMHO. Totally unforced rhyme (always gets brownie points in my book) and succinct and economical - not a redundant word in sight. Really love it Nat.
