LIFE INSIDE OF ME

I’m from bugs under my rugs

And worms under my skin

I’m from pumpkin pie anytime

Chocolate pudding, lemon and lime

From the love of my father

The love of my mother

To their two daughters

I was the older brother

I’m from the movement of my life

To seven different states

And the collection on my wall

Of seven different plates

I’m from the my buddy doll

That kept me safe every night

And the Lincoln logs that

My black dog used to bite

I’m from the ninja turtle pajamas

With the purple bandana

And the Bon Jovi tape

That I received from Santa

I’m from the love of my grandpa

And the hate of his tumor

From the love of my grandma

Who always raised my humor

My friends were always there

Keeping me happy

And my mom always knew that

Not taking showers would make me nappy
