so ive grown out my hair

i've pretended not to care

i tried not to share

i didn't really dare

from the comfort i never strayed

i feel like i've been splayed

its just a game and i just got played

no "L" ... just spayed

a retinal carnival behind my eyes

i see the lights and feel the highs

a nesting and resting between the thighs

acceptance dependent on schemes and lies

yet i've got holes in my socks

my shoes attract rocks

all that i measure is by a series of shocks

but no way on earth am i cutting my locks
