blue moon from luck by denise

you remind me of a dream i had when i was 13
spineless girl with the world on her tongue
swirl it around in her mouth and spit it out

scratch the surface of my skin
layers deep is the feeling of wanting to fit in
i wanna be a blade of grass against the current
but i'm scared i'm too frail and thin

i know my mom prays for me every night
before she goes to sleep
i think i need a miracle
to feel whole

the sun bounces from the rim of my glasses and blinds you
i apologize even if i don't have to

winter sleeps in my backyard
i remember summer as i walk through the snow
skinny branches standing over me like a sad song

i know i've got good things going for me
but it's getting harder to see
like fogged up glasses in a heated building
like a daydream that disappears when i fall asleep

and i know my mom prays for me every night
before she goes to sleep
i think i need a miracle
to feel whole
