Accommodate Until I Break
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

Girl in a Man's World
It really sucks to be a girl
In a man's world
Everything designed
So it is never your time
Everything is rigged so you don’t succeed

Walk into a Book
Imagine if
Every book came with a key
A key that opened a door
Into the book
Into the worlds
That are your happy place
Escape from reality
Taken to a new level
The joy found in between the pages

Golden Years, Falling Tears
I always thought it would be like the movies
Beach trips and ice cream
Field trips and cheering on sports teams
Late nights with fairy lights
My first kiss
That feeling of bliss
It’s not

This is the way, in the USA
I'm American born and raised
not enough pay
I'm an American women through and through
women don’t get to choose
I live in Vermont
why does he always get what he wants

Can't Photograph the Inside That Counts
I've been trying to work on myself
On my mind
On my heart
On my interior
But no one sees that
You can't photograph how pure a heart is
Or how smart a mind is
How good of a person you are

Wishes thrown into a pond
I wish I was...
Beautifully sure of myself like Ae
Bouncy like M
Comfortable in my skin like L
Confident like N
Cool like T

Time passes, and with it so do I
I stayed up until midnight with my brother
in that horrible hotel room in North Carolina.
(I say horrible because I hate going down south
hate the Trump bobblehead in my nonny and poppy's house

Crying in a stadium
Swallow your tears.
No crying in public.
Why are you surprised?
This has been happening since you were two.
He’s the angel
You’re not.

Is That What You're Wearing?
“Is that what you’re wearing”
She says
Not as a question
But a judgment
A cold declaration
That I’m doing something wrong

The girl who never falls
It's hard
to put yourself out there,
bear, exposed;
it's scary to take off your coat,
remove the mat,
and hang on limb over the edge of a cliff,
Will I fall?
Will the branch break?

Four-Letter Words
I've never been a fan of Four-Letter Words,
never seen the need for profanity,
and thought swears showed a lack of self control,
Now, I haven't changed my mind
but four-letter words are more than curses,
