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

    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
