Toddler Does Not Hide Emotions

as a toddler she had no filters at all
her emotions were about sixty-thousand feet tall
when she was happy, she surrounded the world with happy
when she was upset or angry, her pouting was mean and snappy

as a toddler, her emotions were all over her face
She could have never played poker, she had no even pace
you knew in a second whether she was sunshine or rain
today has been filled with pouting, there has been no refrain
