(2014)
My grandfather told my father when he proposed to my mother on one condition
Filler words Put me to sleep Added to cushion Take away my pillow Blunt words to wake up
Uh-Oh! Cranky mood Throws a fit Over cereal Cheerios
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
The teenage rebels All fall in line Be they hippies Goths, rockers or skaters Moving from one mould
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
When I think of my mom I think of malt o meal muffins When I think of my dad Memories of a child Chasing us around the circle
How do I Catch your interest? Once again I know You are bored with me
I am a consumer Female Twenties I buy Cheap clothes and lattes
The more you treat me like a nag The more I become one I’m sorry if I micromanage Your clean clothes Your hot meals
I am stronger Than you think I am I am weaker Than I look
He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere
Life is good A little luxury A cup of coffee Served with toast Consumed lazily
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 crave stability Neither wandering spirit Nor home-body Yes I’d love to travel But the foundation
