My latest sticker sheet, which of these do you relate to?
(A few of these remaining!)
They all leave
Right at the same time
Blaming me for
Not making things rhyme
Love is conditional
Just like you and I
One day I’ll be someone
That people want around
And not just sit in a corner
Like some lost hound
But until then
I’ll shove my self hatred down
You look so perplexed
Is my stature not enough?
I put everything away
That made me a muck
I’ll take your bewilderment
And newfound age thinking
And lock it in a closet
Shove it all backward
Into a mess in the corners
I won’t even try to stack it
Maybe then you’ll leave me
And all the changes you caused alone.
