You don’t decide who
Will make your heart race.
The corners of your lips just
Upturn so suddenly
That you only notice your smile
When you step forward and feel
The cement  pieces
Of a shattered frown
On the ground beneath your feet.
-what the first taught me

words are things people call beautiful
but really
is it the words or the order that we admire?
I am in the absence of knowing where this came from. I just have been thinking about it, and... it is factual.

You're grown now

You can't cry

I wont allow

So don't you dare try

I know deep down you wanna bawl

But you're grown, you're grown

If you let go, it'll be a waterfall

So claim your throne

Because up there

You're gonna have to bare

That Guy
I am so tense.
I am so dense.
I am so small.
But, I can call
"I am still here"
I am still here

Little Jenna was playing outside in a California city.
When out of the wooded area came a pretty kitty.
She went to pet the kitty with the arched back.
Her dad sprinted to get rid of the bobcat.
Like he was running Olympic track.

Sweet Jean was smart and keen.
But it would take a bulldozer to remove her from the slot machines.
When her paper money began to fry like lard.
Then the casino slots started eating her debit card.

Big Toe

He had just gotten back from the grocery store.
When he dropped a 2 liter Coca Cola bottle on his big toe.
The pain almost made him want to choke.
He was lucky that it wasn't broke.
His girlfriend told him to stop crying like a wimp.
Or she would put him to bed and take his temp.

He loved his new girlfriend's collard greens and yams.
His other girlfriend had only fed him spam.
His other girlfriend had always put his spam in a bowl.
With only one little dinner roll.
His other girlfriend had always treated him like a dog.
His new girlfriend brought him sunshine instead of a fog.
