(2014)
Look in the mirror What is it you see? Hazel eyes above your Favorite black dress Looks clean and fresh
The ugliest shade Of green We envy The car The job
I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface
Who’s the best? Ask my Daddy He’ll tell you Enthusiastically He always sees

Uh-Oh! Cranky mood Throws a fit Over cereal Cheerios

Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack
A conversation With a true friend Leaves your life richer Maybe with a laugh A smile on your face
