I Love Lemonade

You tiptoe around

Your feelings

Keep them in a bag

With a zipper

And zip them up

You say you're like lemonade

You can be sweet

But you can be sour

And people told you

To just be orange juice

Plain and sweet

You said all this

With that look on your face

That you get

When you're ashamed

Embarrassed

Abashed

I told you not to worry

Because I love

Lemonade

  • Can I Go Back

    Can I go back

    Back to the place I call home

    Full of laughter and love

    The place where I sleep above my friend

    As I'm surrounded by so many others

  • An Apple

    An apple is

    A reminder

    A token to bring you back

    To the day in the orchard

    When you were six years old

    Sitting on your dad's shoulders

    Reaching for an apple

    That you had decided was perfect
