(2014)
How do I Catch your interest? Once again I know You are bored with me
My soft spot My sweet boy I’d do anything for Who convinced me Little boys are the best
Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump
If I was in a beauty pageant My talent would be 'Lefty who writes upside-down’ Beside the contestant Who burps her ABC’s
She is no longer Part of my life I’ve moved on My life is full With friends
By nature high-strung But I thought I was strong If not physically, emotionally For things to roll off my back Be mature and take the high road
The more you treat me like a nag The more I become one I’m sorry if I micromanage Your clean clothes Your hot meals
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
I look away Afraid to see Flicker of nerves In their eye A clench
I can feel it coming Decisions I can’t make Brain starts to freeze Fingers won’t work Sick of this disease
Tomorrow Has not yet come It’s promises yet to be broken Tomorrow Is bigger
Down to earth I am but of dust Dust particles I see floating in the air Carbon molecules
Some I like to share Fresh out of the oven Don’t let it get cold That’s why I wrote it Emotions in that moment
The E’s squeak by The I’s are too excited The U’s come after Q But the A’s and the O’s They flow
