I'm not who I always thought I'd be
Dressed in pink instead of black
Pierced ears instead of nose
But I am who I am, I suppose.
I'm smart and driven

And Mom’s famous chili.
I’m from long games of Monopoly
with The Beatles playing the background.

Disney movies,
One fateful day,
in the heat of May,
A child was brought into the world.

and ended the song
as doctors announced her troubles.
Her eye was not right,
