Its Not Easy Being Me
IT’S NOT EASY BEING ME
I’M THREE
I JUST HAD TO EXPLAIN
TO MY SINGLE MOTHER MARY
WHY I DIDN’T WANT TO CHANGE
OUT OF MY PINK PJs
JUST NOW
IT’S A MATTER OF SELF EXPRESSION
IN A POST MODERN SOCIETY
AND THE IMPORTANCE OF PINK
IN MY LIFE
AT THIS TIME
IT’S KIND OF A FASHION STATEMENT
ALL THE GUYS WEAR THEM
HER GENERATION JUST DOESN’T
UNDERSTAND US
BUT I DID THANK HER
FOR THINKING
ABOUT ME
I HAVE TRIED MY BEST TO BE SENSITIVE
TO HER FEELINGS
I ASKED MYSELF
WHAT WOULD DR. FREUD DO
IN MY POSITION
I DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE HER WITH
ANY PERMANENT SCARS IN HER SUBCONSCIOUS
DID I MENTION
THAT
SHE’S ONLY SIXTEEN AND A TEENAGE QUEEN
THAT SHE HAS HEART TATTOO ABOVE THE CRACK IN HER ASS WITH THE NAME OF SOME GUY JOHN
INSCRIBED IN IT
THAT JOHN’S GONE
THAT WE ARE ON WELFARE AND
THAT I THINK SHES GOING THROUGH
SOME MAJOR CHANGES IN HER LIFE
OR
THAT I THINK SHE’S JUST PERFECT AND
THAT I WANT TO GROW UP AND
BE JUST LIKE HER
