Who am i?
As broken as a piece of shattered glass,
As perfect as a rose petal,
As wacky as a strand of grass,
As wonderful as a sunset.
As perfect as a rose petal,
As wacky as a strand of grass,
As wonderful as a sunset.
As weird as some music nowadays,
As lovely as a hot cocoa on a cold day,
As bizarre as the latest craze,
As blissful as a sunny beach.

As bizarre as the latest craze,

The ball of volley
My worldview is a volleyball game.
The referees are my morals that keep me in line.
The opponent’s floor are my personal goals.
My teammates are the people in my life helping me move towards my goals.
The net is the obstacles that I have to face.
My coach is that one voice telling me I can do it.
The lines on the floor are the boundaries I have set for myself.

Cold
I’m sitting in snow,
My toes are cold they are froze,
This is not the vibe.

Ugly
I see a squirrel,
It’s very cute yes indeed,
No I lied it’s not.

Ew
I walk down the path,
I enjoy the bright sunshine,
There is poop right here.
