Home execution

Circumlocution

Responding to cues

Singing the blues

I'm not crying

No one is dying

Denying this

Is hit or miss

Just like a ball

Aimed towards all

Toward a family of six

A family of sticks

A family of tears

A family of fears

Afraid of the night

Not wanting to fight

Afraid of the day

Wanting to run away

Too many words

And not one is heard

It seems they're all smiles

For miles and miles

Inches and feet

Standards to meet

Competitions to win

But pride is a sin

Living will kill me

Dying's not easy

Maybe it will be
