Little Ol' You

Your shell holds so many different melodies.

Different tones that depend on the notes

and the notes are words that mean stories

about what she felt when she eloped

and about the loses and trophies.

Your purple on the outside, where its hard

and if you fell the beat is always there.

Continue playing that face card.

Continue giving when it seems like no one cares.

Play it, let it be loud.

When its loud there is no noise.

Tell the queen to make that sound.

When there is no noise, nothing matters

not school, trying to find a job, or boys.

You tell me tales of her and him

You tell me tales of California dreamin

and of the streets of Harlem.

You tell me tales of things that could happen to me.

You tell me tales of hard times, young girls, and greed.

but none of these tales scare me from you

because she is too nice to be true

and he is too scared of my feelings to pursue

my mind. So I need you and you need me too.
