Alone With Lemons and Limes

He told me I had lemon skin my breath was tart upon my lips I carried the weight of the world on my hips My tongue I should learn to bridle It's just like the sun in the afternoon with the windows open to dispel the gloom Lime green pain lights up my room With a whisper, a king could frighten This house has ways to betray your steps sour though I be as I falter and trip courtesy gone in my first two sips I'm wondering about tomorrow. You've heard the old adage of extra lemons: "lemonade stands for your family and friends Positivity lifts and the fun never ends" (accept when you dare to dream). Lime green walls match the glint in my cat's eyes My sadness creeps in when my little girl cries I'm tart with my righteously indignant replies Don't thank me - Thank my mother...
