this is from me to you

from a girl who can't sit longer than 30 minutes
to a boy who couldn't ever spend just an hour in a dream

last wednesday was a breaking point (we all know)
last wednesday
and the wednesday before
and before
and before
and before

and i don't know what it is about wednesdays but maybe it's the way it's spelt
or because it's the middle
and for some reason the middle is always the worst

like the name
and the stomach
and the child 

i don't know what it is about wednesdays but maybe it's because of haircuts
or maybe it's because i was born

so now my family calls me "wednesday's child"
an orphan from the newspaper years ago


wednesdays and orphans are fine
wednesdays and orphans are fine


but I'm not gonna make this about wednesdays, or orphans, because this is from me to you

from an introvert
to an extrovert

because she can't sit without screaming
because he's too busy for dreaming


but I'm not gonna make this about screaming or dreaming
because this is from me to you:

this is from me to you:

but
