Ode To Being Regular

Ode to being regular.

For I chant in the shower
My favorite song from Disney -
“Written in these walls
are the stories
that I can't explain
I leave my heart open 
but it stays right here 
empty for days"

Eating lattes on the run,
And Breathing work between 
sips of wine,
I tear the pages of my mind 
and share them only with my kind
It doesn’t have to make sense
The situation isn’t that intense.

Ode to being regular.

Piano lessons since five.
I trim my bangs 
with those same fingers!
I use the mute button 
on the TV remote -
I silence the competition
From my thoughts.
Gimme something more.

And by the way…
Ode to being regular.

Tell me out loud -
That I am worth something.
That piano lessons
Make a difference,
Or that my bangs
Give me an appeal -
Appeal like Marilyn Monroe
had.
She’s a has been.  
I’m here.

Can you see my frustration?
Who made it popular 
To be fabulous?
Normal used to be a thing.
A thing guys liked.
A reason to breathe.
So anyway... I’m going for it.

Ode to being regular.
