Are you ever tired Of just being you? Did you ever Want to be Someone new?
Don’t talk down to me I am not a child! Even children Deserve respect
To love reading Writing and words And not be able to Communicate Frustrated
Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go
I do not enjoy roller coasters I am not chicken But they say You just have to try it! So I do
Restless As I lay in bed Trying to fall asleep These are my clues I might be low
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
The passive-aggressive Guilt trip Is a weak tool For your purpose The sensitive
I am unique In so many ways But while variety excites What we look for Is our common thread
I am a consumer Female Twenties I buy Cheap clothes and lattes
Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
I love to hear poetry read Rather than performed I love to hear each word Appreciated Rather than memorized
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
Most women are cooks But a man who cooks Is a chef She cooks over and over To feed the masses
Springtime means Berry pickin’ In warm sun Therapeutic Part of me
