Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
I told everyone About you The ugly beast Inside of me You can’t hide
A conversation With a true friend Leaves your life richer Maybe with a laugh A smile on your face
Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know
The ugliest shade Of green We envy The car The job
I am a consumer Female Twenties I buy Cheap clothes and lattes
To be genius means To not follow the rules You don’t have to I wish to be smart But not self-important
You might know her As blonde eyes Or as the sister who bakes cookies But you see I don’t write this
Would I rather be A younger me? More productive Stronger Would i have to give up
Have you ever felt A hole inside of you Something dead inside Where your heart Is supposed to be?
Her fingernails Natural Long Pointed On fingers
Why can’t I choose to be somewhere in the middle? Surrounded by extremes Measure everything With a grain of salt
No pido disculpas Por escribir Lo que siento Lo que llevo adentro Lo que vivo
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
