He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere
Destruction is fun But cannot be undone Smashed Trashed Crumpled
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
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
I’ve known Deep inside All along My value That I matter
I will be Forever in debt To my mother Any gift Would come up short
If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile

I do not enjoy roller coasters I am not chicken But they say You just have to try it! So I do
Would I rather be A younger me? More productive Stronger Would i have to give up

A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
You must commit To an outfit Where are you going? In sporty yoga pants Athletic top
