Taylor Barragato Poem
If I told you
that I hated you,
you would cry,
and I hate it when you cry,
because then I cry too
So if I was hurt
because you were hurt
then maybe
I don't really hate you.
Maybe I hate what you've become
and what you are becoming
As the days pass on by
you can see that your little girl
is becoming a woman
and it hurts to let go
you want to hold on tight
Sometimes so tight that she's gasping
for the world around her
she knows that it is just for her protection
but what would happen if she didn't experience things
on her own
You may tell her what's wrong and what's right
but the truth is
when there's too much right being done
she turns to wrong for answers
so no matter how tight you hold on
she's still gonna learn on her own
and no matter how much you tell her you love her
she's still gonna tell you she hates you
because it's wrong.

Taylor Barragato Poem
Hands,
They pick you up when you're on the ground
and they push you away from speeding cars
They hold you back from doing stupid things
and they hold your waist when you are slow dancing
Shoulders,
They're right at your height
so when you need a place to cry
you just lay your head down
Arms,
they lift you up in the air
so you can feel like you are flying
and when you miss them holding you,
you can run into them,
like you thought they were gone forever.
Elbows,
When you're bored
they give you a wenus to rub, and name
they nudge you when you are doing something wrong
and when someone is coming
Or when the cutest boy in school is looking at you.
Fingers,
they are dead give away when you are nervous
because they fiddle way too much
and they get you into trouble
when you are texting in class
But when you can point out
exactly what you want
fingers can be a good thing
and when you are picking the right person to
hold their hand
cry on their shoulder
be held in their arms
and rub and name their wenus...
fingers are the perfect tool.
