I started accommodating at 2 years old
First it was just normal stuff
Staying quiet
Being careful
Make sure the baby is happy
I thought it would stop
But I’m still accommodating
Bending
Twisting
Just to keep them happy
Change my plans
And keep my mouth shut
I’ve given up
On the idea of someone putting me first
My needs
Maybe I should throw a tantrum
Cry and scream
Yell and stomp
Put them first
Always
So I’m just
Bending
Twisting
Then I’ll
Snap
Break
Crack
Accommodate
Until I break
Sometimes I imagine
That my life is a movie
Each scene belongs to a song
Each song to a scene
Sometimes I let myself
Just float in the music
Red
White
And Blue
The colors of America
We parade down the streets
Covered in these colors
I wonder what our parade will look like
This year
Will we parade with joy
Celebrate tragedies
Love is an open door?
All you need is love?
Love story?
I know that feeling
A bit differently
Not quite what the song was intended for
But I know of love
That opens doors
The love that is
