Girl-1, Year-2013------Uneven

like all my life places

and the part in my hair

 

and the number of years I have spent convincing the universe that I am alive

and the odds against me as I continue my argument

 

another year to make mistakes and call it progress

finger paint and call it abstract art

meet disapproval and call it self-confidence

 

and find the beauty and balance in even parts, even lives, even years

 

brush the confetti off all of these buried long ago thoughts

 

because in 2013 i am waking up to a world i am liable to change

 

and taking all my hopes and mistakes and fears and strengths in my open hands

and making it all come out even.
