Geri

If to be a sonnet is to be vain, then to be a sonnet is to be a friend. 

If to be a limerick is to be laughed at, then to be a limerick is to be a child. 

Like stress

Tiredness consumes me

It chokes me in not a painful way

but a worn way

Like a vest

so close

to falling apart

but still has to survive

the following day

Like a foot

I love being a girl 

but I hate what it took

for me to be able to go to school

for me to know I will be able to vote

for me to know that I will be allowed to get a job when I grow older
