Image for the poem Too Pretty

Too Pretty

Ain’t going nowhere
I’m too pretty

Even though skin getting saggy
Firm in my veins

Muscles not so supple
But still able to deliver

Mind firing lyrics
Legs stand one to one

Weight on the rack
I still can put it down

Never creeping even in dark recesses
Wouldn’t think to end this experience

On a ledge looking down
I step back cause I cant curse them

Float like a butterfly
Scream like a Banshee

Life is a surprise
Meant to be opened on Christmas Day
If Christmas Day was 365

Sun rises life’s song
Sing it like a bird on the wire

Whistle your way through this madness
Tap your leg find a beat

Music washes over everyone
Life rhythm on repeat

In a dire situation feeling bottom
Have to look up see the sky

Take a breath of beauty
Relax temples tension runs out

I’m too pretty I
Ain’t going nowhere
