An Ode to My Crooked Teeth:

To the pearly stones knocking about
Dancing around each other
Bumping shoulders
Standing sideways

And a little lopsided

To the relentless little bones
That grind senselessly with nerves
That rarely ever chew
Without aches and pains

Braces tried to restrain you once
To make you straight
To match images perfected by society

But my stubborn smile
Won’t change for anyone

The storm roars,
The wind blows,
The ocean rises,
But I still remain the same

The rain falls,
The thunder growls,
The earth trembles,
Yet, I am still me

The leaves may turn brown,
The sky may turn black,
The birds may stop singing,
But I may not change

The love I gave yesterday,
The love I give today,
And the love I will give tomorrow,
Is the same love you'll ever receive from me....forever.

Yeah that's me
That girl
Who never changed
I'm still doing the same stupid things
I was doing a year ago
I think I'm insecure
I don't have the will power to stop
Even though you're gone
I just found someone new
Someone else who will love me like you did
I didn't go searching for someone new
That's the thing
I say I'm too good for this
I talk myself out of it
But then the situation presents itself again
And I fall back into my old habits
But this isn't healthy
I'm not happy
I never was
And if I'm not happy
Then why do I keep doing this?
Oh right
Because
Some people
Never change
