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

I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface

I can feel it coming Decisions I can’t make Brain starts to freeze Fingers won’t work Sick of this disease

Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump

Rough day Rough night If I could live In my bath Water would never

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

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

Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work

I need to tell you How to survive With our disposition It’s okay to cry Maybe

I’ve known Deep inside All along My value That I matter

Why can’t I choose to be somewhere in the middle? Surrounded by extremes Measure everything With a grain of salt

Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go

Life is good A little luxury A cup of coffee Served with toast Consumed lazily
