Straighten up and fly right.
Time to leave the nest tonight.
It's this time where I change roads.
I'll leave to where no one knows.
Straighten up and fly right.
I'm in my head tonight.
Like the day is on repeat.
I'm stuck like blood on the sheet.
Straighten up and fly right.
I have to come clean, alright?
Keep me in good company.
Keep them all from loving me.

- Comment from author about the poem: The premise of this poem was inspired by Nat King Cole's song Straighten Up and Fly Right. It fixates on the idea of buzzing around the thought of wanting to change, but realizing you're stuck and make accommodations to that fact.
