As Exemplified By S

I Am

(version 1.0)

I am short, not stout
I wonder what Jeanie dreams about
I hear lace shaped Skittles
I see music
I want to open up
I am short, not stout

I pretend that I am a rockstar, often named Mariel
I feel a change gon' come
I touch 2AM, then and now.
I worry I won't live up to my potential
I cry when you get hurt
I am short, not stout

I understand what's reality isn't always what's real
I say fame isn't sexually transmitted
I dream of marrying the man who teaches me to tread water
I try to be true
I hope I leave you better than when I found you
I am short, not stout
