Who am I?

I am a hungry, indecisive girl.
I wonder if I make milkshakes, will all the boys come to my yard?
I hear Hawaii calling, no, screaming my name.
I see Busch Stadium and the Gateway Arch waving me over to join them.
I am a hungry, indecisive girl.

I pretend I don't care about the numbers
I feel like highschoolers need naptime and snack time more than kindergarteners.
I touch a pencil, a paint brush, and a blank canvas
I worry that time will continually speed up and eventually and inevitably race off without me
I cry at mankind
I am a hungry, indecisive girl.

I don't understand, nor do I want to
I say be nice.
I dream of traveling and trying food everywhere on God's green earth.
I try to be consistent but rarely succeed
I hope my children appreciate good music as much as I do.
I am a hungry, indecisive girl.

  3. You did such a good job of using humor and truth mixed in your poem. And although it is extremeley funny at times, I feel that there is an even deeper meaning.

  4. This is exactly you! The way you described yourself using humor and serious things was perfect. You were able to weave both those sides of you together seamlessly.
