If you find someone That can do it Better than you Get them on your team
My grandfather told my father when he proposed to my mother on one condition
Desperate for his attention Knowing it will drive him away Jealous of a game - how lame Choking self-esteem where I lay Desperate for his affection
Are you ever tired Of just being you? Did you ever Want to be Someone new?
The pine trees Reach up On both sides Of the road Telling me
Hillary’s beautiful Rose Bumpy’s favorite princess My mini-me, my little lion Cute button nose Framed by red hair
Look in the mirror What is it you see? Hazel eyes above your Favorite black dress Looks clean and fresh
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
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
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
¿Te fue mal el día? Me va mal también a mi Dos vidas entretejidas Irrevocablemente Te cargo a ti encima
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
It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper
I would never choose To eat a granola bar Or peanut butter crackers Though I eat them All of the time
If food is poetry The flavors The smells Singing in harmony Is poetry food?
