I Like

I like days with you 
I wish you knew 
I like the way you care
I like the taste of mocktails
and pineapple on my pizza
I like getting caught up in books 
and being told stories 
I like unicorn and dragon tales 
I like the magic 
I like the fantasies 
escaping from reality 
I like all the cute furbabies 
soft and cuddly
I like being covered in a pile of blankets 
when I take naps 
I like finger food snacks 
I like Indian food and chai
the way I feel it in my soul 
I like wildflowers, lilies, and orchids 
Cacti and palm trees
I like my music turned up loud
Taylor Swift, Kelly Clarkson, and Tchaikovsky 
Chopin, Mariah, and Lady A
Reba, Garth, and George Strait 
I like tattoos and piercings
I like lemon donuts
Arnold Palmers and pink drinks
I like Bollywood movies and musicals
I like museums and art
Walks in the park 
I like the sound of the waves crashing on the beach 
I like taking pictures and painting 
building and creating 
I like working with my hands 
I like writing stories and poetry 
I like baseball and climbing trees 
I like putt putt, go karts, and playing games 
I like puzzles and chocolate 
I like road trips and trains
I like my coffee black with sugar 
I like stargazing 
and finding shapes in the clouds 
I like a challenge 
and the book of James 
I like drag shows and Pride
I like the simple things 
I like being me




Talk Shit

Taylor's brilliant and brave and strong 
Skilled and beautiful 
She uses her wealth and power for good 
She builds us up and doesn't tear us down 
People like to talk shit
But they're just mad because they can't be 
Taylor Swift 
Haters 
Attacking like they think they're gladiators 
They talk shit
But if this was baseball 
At bat, they'd just swing and miss
Three strikes 
and they're out
They pick fights
But they're fighting themselves in the dark 
Because she turns out the lights 
Laughs and walks away 
They talk shit 
Thinking they know Taylor Swift 
But they've got her all wrong 
They've been wrong for so long 
They talk shit 
but don't even know the lyrics 
to any of her songs 
They just make themselves look stupid 
Foolish 
Clueless 
She shines bright 
Hello, sunshine 
Thank God for daylight 
Hello, moonlight 
She's still sparkling at midnight 
Singing the soundtrack of our lives
