iRemember

another year for you
how many boxes do you have to count down to now
to check off your age group?
how does it feel?
here’s hoping it’s everything you want it to be
and here’s hoping the different age
makes you wiser
i pray for you
and i wish you well
because you deserve happiness
in spite of it all

wherever you are, make it count.

About a Boy

so, i met a boy

and although i don't know much about him

i know enough to say he's almost perfect

and exactly how i like them

he's big

but neat

and his smile is everything to me

he's the man of my dreams!

but, he's got such low self-esteem

"i think you're cute...funny...hot. i just don't think I'm equally as attractive," he said.

how unfortunate

but such is life

i've used that line myself before so i don't blame him

that isn't to say that i agree, of course

he's totally wrong about everything

he is beautiful &

i think he's got things backwards

but, even so, most times we just don't see what everyone else can

save for a few lucky ones

who see everything no one else can

it's all so very cruel

Conflicts IV

So, all this time

I thought I'd make a great wife.

But, I can't cook.

I don't have the patience for it.

My pancakes this morning were burnt.

Now, what happens if

I can't make a good husband, either?

I don't know how to balance a checkbook and

I can't be bothered to top all the time.

I guess I'll be forever alone.
