when I was more sour than sweet sixteen and never been kissed I sewed clothes for a trip to California and wrote stories that would never come true and mistrusted compliments on my beauty because it didn't get me invited to any parties or make me bold people compared me to Snow White and Vivien Leigh and Elizabeth Taylor and I compared myself to a ghost or a cloud because I floated lonely irrelevant and much too skinny now I'm a size fourteen veteran of love and loss with African Violet dyed hair and a stare that cuts glass I kick ass sometimes in various ways the days don't get away from me without a scratch mark or two. |
