I will be Forever in debt To my mother Any gift Would come up short
The news hit me Like a punch in the gut I threw up two times From the pain Knowing that I
The strings that attach me To this world Ground me Yes they sometimes Keep me from flying
Life is good A little luxury A cup of coffee Served with toast Consumed lazily
Itus and Itis Crashed my party I didn’t invite them! I whisper to my sister They make my skin crawl
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
Your enthusiasm exhausts me This coke is flat The bubbles disperse Leaving a sticky and sweet Aftertaste
I am sorry That I cannot be happier I know that I’d be prettier If I smiled If I could smile
Pragmatic me Doesn’t like this girl You can’t depend on her Too complex to understand She cries at the worst times
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
Look in the mirror What is it you see? Hazel eyes above your Favorite black dress Looks clean and fresh

I’m watching a woman in a bikini In great shape with a swollen bell… Play with her puppy named Gatsby A Hispanic family comes The little girl dips her feet in
¿Te duele Cuándo piques tu dedo? No Lo hago por pura diversión Lo que duele
I am stronger Than you think I am I am weaker Than I look
