It’s always been in my nature   I am at my happiest   Sitting out on the cricket pitch   Eating broken lolly sticks   And raisins covered in chocolate      It’s always been in my nature   it is just a bugabear   It tags along with me everywhere   It pinches me and it pulls my hair       and it giggles and flicks my ears as it pokes fun at me   It nibbles at my fingernails while I’m asleep      I sit on a swing seat in the breeze   Watching the leaves fall off the trees   And even though it looks sad to me   Nature always dies so beautifully      It’s always been in my nature   it is just the way it is   I sink it and it resurfaces   It scratches at my bandages      And it wriggles over all my calluses and sores   It tickles but it doesn’t hurt me anymore      The flowers stick out their tongues at me   Scrabbling around on my hands and knees   As I pick up all the fallen leaves   And try to glue them back onto the trees   I try to glue them back onto the trees
