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

    Dear New York City,

    I don’t know what it is

    Forever reaching upwards

    A field perhaps

    Covered in red beauty

    Have you ever tried walking through dozens of roses?

    Your fingertips perhaps

    Covered in red blood

    From afar roses are gorgeous
