BALLERINA GIRL

Ballerina girl, you are so graceful

Twirling around and around

How could anyone not love you?

Ballerina girl, you are so perfect

Don't listen to the haters

Turn your tiny ears away from them

Ballerina girl, look in the mirror

Your imperfections are

The most beautiful of all

LAST BREATH

Swift current pulls me under
Water baby, didn't have a chance
Rocks dance beneath my feet as I sink
I thought I knew it all.
Knew. It. All.
As I take my last breath
I remember the last time I made you laugh
And I wonder if after all these years
Swift current will make you smile again

YOU ARE INVITED TO MY BOOK LAUNCH!

HAIR

Yes, I changed my hair
Sometimes I can't cope
With the reflection I see
In the mirror
So I change it
Maybe this girl
Knows how to survive

DREAM

I had a dream I lived in a jail
My crime was not explained to me
Turns out my lawyer was
Judge, jury, and DA
BANG! went the gavel
Back to my cell I go
If only I could see someone
Even standing close

I awaken and look around
At my four walls, the isolation
I don't know when I am getting out
It was not a dream after all

LITTLE HEART

She cries
All alone
Her little heart
Too small for stone
She says, "Bring on the ghosts that haunt me"
For they are all alone
They know every word
Of every lie she's heard
They will glue her broken pieces
Back together, make it better
Until she falls apart
Until she gets much older and a little bolder
To protect her little heart

MISTAKES

You underestimated me -
That was the first mistake you made

I believed in you -
That was the final mistake I made
