Happy Birthday To Me!
Feeling: Sublime
Starting my day by working out rhymes
Committing no crimes
Living off more than dimes
Thinking its about that time
No longer waiting for a rescue
Escaping my own mental zoo
Heading for love that is true
Running straight away from you
And if you really think you do
I'm gonna need some physical proof
Taking care of my health
Growing my wealth
Living my dreams instead of placing them on a shelf
Maybe the only one this excited to play an elf
Gonna take a long hard look at myself
And say I love you
And I will hug you
And I will be true
And there's always work to do
But there's so much you've already done
Feeling like you've already won
And there's so many lessons you unlearned
So many gifts you have earned
And I'm proud of you
And I forgive you for the pain
And I forgive you for the rain
And I forgive you for driving us both insane
And here we are
With a spaceship for a car
Our home is wherever we are
We're living on our own
Feelin' pretty grown
Finding our rest
Trying our best
Recovering workaholic
Taking time to frolic
Seeing life as it is
Living in the gift
Thank you, thank you, thank you,
Little Amy, this one's for you <3

What it feels like:
Angry Song
So please don't sing along
Oh - now you're talking?
Better start walking
Your words saying yes,
But your actions say no,
So I'm letting go
No longer waiting
Anticipating
And I'm not hating
On you,
But I'm not waiting,
No more hesitating -
Your words say yes,
But your actions say no,
So I'm letting go,
And I'm saying no,
Because if I did you wouldn't even show
And I'm not saying
I'm not secretly praying
I'm not saying
I'm not still sinking into your eyes
Memorizing your sighs
Looking out for your lies
But I'm not waiting for you
Not saying I adore you
And this song AIN'T FOR YOU
It's for me
This is my angry song
So please don't sing a long
And I might be a little wrong,
But today I'm RIGHT
So don't kiss me goodnight
Because I'm turning out the light
And I'm not thinking of you
And I'm not sinking into
Your ocean blues
Your deep sighs
Your silly disguise
So please don't tell me that you miss me
And please don't try to kiss me
And I swear if you try to dip me-
You're slipperier than history,
And I'm not saying yes,
Or showing you my summer dress,
Because this is my angry song,
NO! Don't sing along!
You only do me wrong.
And don't try to tease me
love me
or leave me
Because showing your feelings should be easy
But your communication is less than breezy
So I'm singing my angry song
So get you gone
Move along
This ain't where you belong
And I'm not gonna listen
Not getting lost reminiscing
You're not the one I'll be kissing
You're not getting through to me
Unless you're down on your knees
Practically begging me, like
"Ooooh Amy,
Please don't leave me,
I need you like the bubbles in my bubble bath,
I need you like the smile before I start to laugh
I need you like an extra tire
Need you cuz you set my soul on fire
It's only you that I admire
So please don't go,
I need you so,
Oh oh oh!"
And I might. . .
Oooooh I might . . .
Still
Say
NO!
