derek's poems

thx 2 all my frens

I'm just here to say

That without you guys 

I probably wouldn't be here today

I'm just here to let you know

That without your help

I never would've grown

Thanks to my guitar and piano

Thanks to my voice for singing these notes

Thanks to my brain for being a bad inspiration

And thanks to all my friends who know

That I'm a mess

And I would still be stumbling

Without your guidance

I'm in the dark

And I would still be blind

If it wasn't for the light in your hearts

Thanks to my guitar and piano

Thanks to my voice for singing these notes

Thanks to my brain for being a bad inspiration

And thanks to all my friends who know

That I'm cruel

And I've got a lot of problems

It's just not cool

I'm a horrible friend

I know that I haven't helped you much

But I really hope you make to the end

Of a good, long life

I hope you thrive

I really wish the best for you

I'm so glad you're alive

Thanks for helping me be alive
