Angst
by Shae

I feel like Janis
Joplin, give me Southern
Comfort, give me
Pretty, pretty boys, and
Give me Kris Kristofferson's
Songs to call my own.
Make me laugh, and
Buy me my own
Mercedes Benz
Don't make me cry,
I can do that all by myself
By myself, I feel more
Like Janis Joplin,
Falling, swirling, descending
Down, down to dark
Swamp places in my soul
