Signs '03
By Kenneth R. Cabrieto

          Sign are telling me that--
          Wait a second,
          I already wrote something that started like that
          And it had the same title too.
          Hmm...let's start over.
          Here's something new...

          So it's still pretty funny
          How everything can be right in front of you.
          Dictating where you need to go
          And what you need to do.

          People are still hard to figure out.
          Even when you think you have a clue.
          You think that you could be the best of friends
          Only to find out that that's not true.

          I'm still getting lost in the rules,
          Even though this isn't a game.
          Things are so much more difficult now,
          Should've guessed it wouldn't be the same.

          It's like an RPG I'm level 20,
          But I have to defeat a 99.
          Still have to face the challenge
          Can't afford to spare any time.

          My problem is I can never back out,
          Can't risk getting left behind.
          My only choice is to keep moving on
          And deal with what's all in my mind.

          My head's been feeling heavy lately
          Is it the stress or all the hair gel?
          Hoping to figure this all out soon.
          Really hoping it'll all end well.

          Man, I'm so tired of thinking right now,
          I think what I really need is rest.
          Signs are showing me a better life,
          Now that I've gotten all this off my chest.
