She’ll scream and shout
And cuss you out,
Praying you’ll never see
The source of all this rage
Is her own insecurity
About how much
She’s worth exactly,
Which she’ll never admit,
But she’s convinced
That with all the trials in life
She sure doesn’t need this …
Attitude… is a funny thing
Some say it’s everything,
But they don’t know
How long she’s been this low
In the valley where
Attitude is nothing
More than a shirt
You wear that day
To the cover person
Beneath the skin and scars --
The one that won’t go away;
So I let her spit and stomp
And scream obscenities
Because when I see her
In the mirror
She looks a lot like me.
