Cheap clothes and lattes

I am a consumer
Female
Twenties
I buy
Cheap clothes and lattes
Will work hard to save a dime
To spend a dollar
On a whim
Fickle
Who changes her taste
I have picky ears
Figure me out
I dare you

(2014)

This world is covered in bias It’s all over you It’s all over me too This world is covered in bias It shades our words

Public Humiliation

I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
