The Way You Move (do)


You say you like sharks,wolves, and bears

you shy  thing.

You say you like red meat,sushi, and chicken

you fragile being.

You say you are strong, brave, and proud

but you float like a feather.

You say you like people and that you are social

you are sitting at the lunch table alone.

You say you like family time

although you are hiding in your room.

You say that you are a good girl

but you don't go to church

You say that you are straight

but I saw you two yesterday

You say you don't like cake,

than what is that I am seeing in this photo

You say that you are not sick

then why do I need to hold your hair back.

You say that you are fine

but the marks up your arms dont say the same

You said that you got over me

by over did you mean by death?
