I told everyone About you The ugly beast Inside of me You can’t hide

My objective is selfish Not to share or be heard To get it out and move on No one seems to hear my pain No one seems to feel my pain

The pine trees Reach up On both sides Of the road Telling me

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

Beautiful legs The right shape and curve Olive color without the green That tans and doesn’t burn Until you see

Mis manchas de Bambi Manchas blancas Cubren mi cuerpo La gente se queda mirando Pero no les da asco

The strings that attach me To this world Ground me Yes they sometimes Keep me from flying

To be genius means To not follow the rules You don’t have to I wish to be smart But not self-important

Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack

Blonde eyes To match her hair Life is mean She counts her blessings Hopes for the best

Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly
