I am unique In so many ways But while variety excites What we look for Is our common thread

Nothing makes people flee Like reading them poetry They value it in theory But please don’t make them read Surprise me with your verse

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

A joke Lost in Translation You will Never

What if one day I wasn’t there for you? And you were left needing me If I wasn’t there When you woke up

If I was in a beauty pageant My talent would be 'Lefty who writes upside-down’ Beside the contestant Who burps her ABC’s

He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere

Have you ever felt A hole inside of you Something dead inside Where your heart Is supposed to be?

I would never choose To eat a granola bar Or peanut butter crackers Though I eat them All of the time

A fresh faced country girl Who pioneers on her bicycle Catches the eye Of a transplant from Houston Love begins through letters

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
