I Love I Hate

I love, loveing
I hate, hateing
I love going
I hate waiting

I hate depression
I love joys
I hate most girls
I love most boys

I love my friends

I hate the strife

I hate work
I love cake
I hate crisco
I love to bake

Wishing Girl

I wish that I could be a boy
Instead I am a boy’s play toy

As a girl, I’m supposed to be polite
As a girl, I’m not supposed to fight
Every day and every night
