(a)

I have come so far
so fast
I haven’t yet
had the chance
to ask
“is this where I want to be?”

 

(b)

in my fairy tale
the one that I live
I kissed my prince
and he turned into a frog

(c)

I had a name once
but I forgot it
can you tell me
what I am called?
can you tell me
what of me is mine?

 

(d)

never mistreat
women or pets
(dogs mostly)
because both will bite back
