Kindergarten

As my world expanded
I never felt so alone.

Who are all these kids?
Where's mama going?

I won't deny
I was a little afraid
and not a little confused
as my hand slid from yours.

And I'm sure you didn't want
to see me cry, but
as my world expanded
I never felt so alone.

This is Me

This is the life I choose,
this path is mine-
to sleep, to work, to play
as I desire.

If I must
I could stop any time, any day,
hop a different bus,
but not today.

It's simple to see
my vision is blurred with clarity
as I'm joking with sincerity
while avoiding parity
(I know, ain't that a rarity?),
but that is me.

Kaleidoscope

Out of curiosity I pulled down the blue sky

to lift the purple from your eyes,

my rose colored glasses

telling me no lies-

Our beautiful hope is a kaleidoscope

of colors doing lovely dances.
