Good secret Bubbles inside Let me out Bad secret Indigestion
A joke Lost in Translation You will Never
If I could draw a tree In all it’s complexity Would you be impressed? If I could draw a human face It would be but a trace
By nature high-strung But I thought I was strong If not physically, emotionally For things to roll off my back Be mature and take the high road
Inspirational quotes Are full of crap Whatever meaning Is lost In the sea
Your pain is far away I hear it But I do not feel it Move closer Let me know you’re here to stay
I am a consumer Female Twenties I buy Cheap clothes and lattes
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
I will be Forever in debt To my mother Any gift Would come up short
Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly
If I could paint a man Eyes so dark they shine Brooding and stormy Til the smile breaks through If I could paint a man
Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
My parents always say We’re proud of you I am too I got out of bed I used to get so much done
It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper
I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface
