His tears were like ice cubes, Frozen in my heart, making me feel His cold rush of sadness and in that moment, It was as clear as water how I felt about him. It was love. It had to be. How else could I feel my stomach in my throat And my own tears welling up When I saw those red-rimmed eyes look up at me? It was love and I was doomed.
Superman on kryptonite, Why because it makes me feel alright, Like rocky Balboa going into a fight, As a try to save the world I die, No obvious signs I'm hurt alone I cry, I fight to survive but don't care if I die, If in the end no one cares why even try. It's a new day today, For the first time I feel better than okay, An uphill battle still lies ahead, Yet im smiling thanking god that I'm not dead, Round 15 I'm still standing with a chance to win, Anything is possible if you're willing to go the distance
The poisonous cherries have blossomed outside my pane. And with a deadly tilt out my second story window I can kiss their blushing hearts. I lean over and out And smell spring Rain, Dirt, Fever, Love, In the air. I'm another mutt howling in heat Gift me with your treat Another blushing heart with beat. Cherry blossoms dripping rain Liquid fragrance feast. I'll kiss your petals. Secret meadows Bring me spring fever satisfaction.
When I say, Eeny, Meanie, Miney, Moe, You know what follows, Today's children don't know. Should we be shamed, Though blameless, Called racist and supremacist. I learned those words long after the rhyme, Losing innocence with time. Can I still call you Whitey If my skin is... Well, different from Whitey's. I'd be stupid To catch a tiger By the toe; PETA would skin me.
I was never the first to anyone. Never the favorite. Never the beloved. I was always who they chose when they ran out of ideas. When they need a scapegoat. Or when they need a safety net. That was me.
No one would willingly choose me. And I don't understand why. Am I lacking in anything? Do I need to do something before you choose me? Tell me.
I've always wondered: why does no one want me? I can never be the first one my parents love, I'm the last they concieved. I also can't be the one people love, and I don't understand. I've done everything you wanted, yet still you choose someone else.
