Analysis of About Me



I like boys who like boys
Ones that like my freckles and my voice
I like fruits and nuts just not in my bread
And I never leave anything unsaid

I like small talk and overly politeness
I tip on everything all the time, God’s my witness
I have a sunny disposition
And too easily make commitments

I say “hello” too much and “I love you” too often
And I love to come by just to “stop in”
Love to think I’m mesmerizing
Though I’m just ordinary I’m realizing

Most of all I forget I’m not in a movie
That “I think you’re pretty” is just something he said to me
Not a vulnerable confession of love
That ironically made him look tough

So when I go to sleep at night
I picture scenarios where I’m not me
Where I like to go out and my clothes fit just right
Where being alone is the most comforting
