Sometimes I Feel Like...
by Katie
Because I’m bunched up way too tight.
Because brides are always throwing me over their shoulders.
Because sometimes I’m allergic to myself.
Sometimes I feel like a hot knife
Because I can cut through anything.
Because I’m honed to a perfect edge.
Because I’m easily knicked.
Sometimes I feel like a lazy do-nothing
Because I lose all track of time.
Because… what? What was the question?
Because sometimes I need someone to snap me out of it.
Sometimes I feel like a sparrow
Because my bones are hollow.
Because my heart beats faster than you can imagine.
Because if I had wings, in an instant I’d be gone.
