American breakdown,
Girl, I need to know.
Even the losers won’t back down.
I don’t come around here no more,
don’t do something in the air.
Listen to her heart free fallin’,
learning to fly
into the great wide open.
The refugee me, waiting like that.
Here comes my girl.
You got lucky runnin’ down a dream.
I am the best thing you've never heard of.
I hold a Bachelor's in English, History and Secondary Education, and a Master's in English: Creative Writing, though my appearance belies intelligence.
My goal in life is to write and to be read. It's a modest stretch by most imaginations.
To most I'm amazing.
It all depends on your definition of literary merit.
