I am...

I am here to tell you I am
I am here on life’s whim
I am here to do remarkable things
I am here to do absolutely nothing

I am 6 foot 10 and have a twin brother
I am from Minnesota but came to Cali. to discover
I am always in love with the one who loves another
I am only myself, and no other

I am constantly laughing at jokes only I get
I am constantly trying my best to forget
I am not one for risk, and not one to bet
I am more in love with the women I haven’t met

Half-way to being hammered
Nine inches from being nailed
Dead winds and no oars
Make me wonder how I’ve sailed

I am a musician and a writer
I am a not a full-fledged fighter
I am a listener and an observer
I am a half-assed part-time server

I am not opposed to taking mental days
I am not too dead set in my ways
I am looking for that _____-haired girl
I am trying to travel around the world

I am cocky to the point when I don’t want to be
I am pretty sure that I am presently me
I am educated, but often feel dumb
I am friend to more than just some

Half-way to being hammered
Nine inches from being nailed
Lazy lakes and listless laments
Make me wonder how I haven’t failed

I am of the notion there’s something big at play
I am one for words and yet don’t always know what to say
I am generally falling for the ones I can’t have
I am longing for things I know won’t last

I am not a fan of DBG
I am outgoing, but don’t want people to see
I am home to thoughts I can’t express
I am still searching for that beautiful mess

I am writing to tell you I am here
I am writing without regret or fear
I am writing because I know you’ll never see
I am writing because it calms me

Nine inches from being nailed
Half-way to being hammered
I am hoping you’ll soon see
That over you, I’m positively enamored

I did tone it down. I wasn't drunk when I wrote this, or really intoxicated when I thought about it. I just like the way that sounded.

You SHOULD have been drunk.

Are you saying I write better when i'm drunk and this was bad, or that I should just be drunk in general. Furthermore, only about 2% of everything I've ever written has been while I'm intoxicated.
