Pony from Bestiary by Avi C. Engel

I can read and I can write
if I had a pony then I could ride
but I can't abide, I can't toe the line
I think I need new eyes

dreams unspool and hopes unmoor
sometimes I wish I was never born
iron gate rusts in the sky
I think I need new eyes

I can read and I can write
if I had a pony then I could ride
but I can't abide, I can't toe the line
I think I need new eyes

nothing's new and nothing's pure
o my heart a weatherbeaten bird
all the poison, all the cures
can't change my course

nothing's new and nothing's pure
o my heart a weatherbeaten bird
all the poison, all the cures
can't touch this curse

I can read and I can write
if I had a pony then I could ride
but I can't abide, I can't toe the line
I think I need new eyes
