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

We have something to learn from

(the toddler who smiled

while he peeled his banana

and ate it in five bites

and gave us all high fives)

Everyone likes

Vanilla ice cream

But chocolate

So they take chocolate

And the vanilla ice cream

Just sits there

And melts

Until it's just a puddle

Everyone likes

As a little kid

People used to tell me

How they would love

T0 get in my head

And see where my

This road starts but never ends

This road loves and never hates

It continues and never stops

This road is improvised by all step foot upon it

It inspires and changes

The lies are ready on your lips, practiced, you done this a thousand times, but you falter. You falter and shatter the illusion of truth.
