could the

pit of my stomach stop swallowing everything whole
or at least take a few words with it
like when i say too much
and think too much
and say too much
and i think most people
would prefer the quieter type
but i tried being agreeable before
(too, too agreeable)
and i am tired of hiding my fire
with past-ashes and sunbeams
bring on the night,
bring on my thirst for adventure
and someone who will run with me,
hand in hand,
fearless.
