A portrait
(2014)
I am sorry That I cannot be happier I know that I’d be prettier If I smiled If I could smile
The strings that attach me To this world Ground me Yes they sometimes Keep me from flying
The E’s squeak by The I’s are too excited The U’s come after Q But the A’s and the O’s They flow
Love is sincere Sincerely Wanting to connect Love makes you crazy Insanity that makes you fly
The teenage rebels All fall in line Be they hippies Goths, rockers or skaters Moving from one mould
Are you ever tired Of just being you? Did you ever Want to be Someone new?
Her fingernails Natural Long Pointed On fingers
Blonde eyes To match her hair Life is mean She counts her blessings Hopes for the best
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
I need to tell you How to survive With our disposition It’s okay to cry Maybe
Didn’t they know that people cared? That they were loved? Why didn’t someone tell them?
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
Dime ¿Qué es su lengua materna? Ni inglés Ni español Sus padres no hablan inglés
Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
Good secret Bubbles inside Let me out Bad secret Indigestion
