My Honest Poem/ Rudy Francisco [lyrics]

I was born on July 27th, I hear that makes a Leo

I don't relly know what that means

I´m 5 foot 6... and a half. I weigh a hundred and fourty-five pounds

I don´t know how to swim, 

and I´m a sucker for a girl with a nice smile and clean sneakers

I´m still learning how to whisper

I´m often loud in places I should be quiet

I´m often quiet in places I should be loud

I was born feet first and 

I´ve been backwards ever since

I like ginger ale... a lot

I´ve been told that I give really bad hugs

People say that it feels like I´m trying to escape

Sometimes is because I am, 

and secretly I get really nervous every time someone gets close enough to hear me breathe

I have this odd fascination with things like sand castles and ice sculptures

I assume it´s because I usually find myself dedicating time to things that will only last a few moments

That´s also why I tend to fall in love with women who would never love me back

I know its sounds crazy, but its actually much easier that it seems 

And to be honest, I think it´s safer that way

See, relationships, they often remind me that I´m not afraid of heights or falling

but I´m scared of what´s gonna happen the moment that my body hits the ground

I´m clumsy. yesterday, I tripped over my seld-steem

I landed on my pride and it shattered like an iPhone with a broken face

Now I can´t even tell who´s trying to give me a compliment

I´ve never been in the military, but I have this Purple Heart

I got it from beating myself up over things I can´t fix

I know it sounds weird, but sometimes, 

I wonder what my bed sheets say about me when I´m not around

about all the things I´ve done behind their backs

I´ve got a hamper that´s overflowing with really, really loud mistakes

And a graveyard in my closet, I´m afraid that if I let you see my skeletons

You´ll grind my bones into powder and get high on my fault lines

Hi, my name is Rudy

I enjoy frozen yogurt, people watching

and laughing or absolutely no reason at all

But I don´t allow myself to cry as often as I need to

I have a solar-powdered confidence, 

I have a battery-operated smile

My hobbies include editing my life story, hiding behind metaphors

Andd trying to convince my shadow that I´m someone worth following

I don´t know much, but I do know this

I know that heaven is full of music

I know God listens to my heart beat on his iPod

It reminds him that we still got work to do.
