The Same Color as Me (Rough Draft)

He raises an eyebrow every time 

there’s a new Taylor swift album and I’m 

Alone in in my room screaming lyrics 

To pop tuned Melodies in C Major 

 

They roll their eyes when I’m at the check out

buying yet another cheesy rom com 

You know the one where the girl gets the guy 

and it all turns out all right? 

 

She doesn’t get why I read thrillers after all

 I’ve been through - murders and rapes and 

Men oh my.

 

But let me tell you 

The secret they will never know 

It’s the live wire sparking true blue emotion 

Of being a woman. It’s like a touching a soul That matches yours.]

It’s dancing in a million degrees because someone else has been glowing

the same color as you
