News: A Strung Heart
Can you tell Tall tales?
Yes, there’s a skyscraper in Demi Lovato's heart.
Can you give me the news?
I can like wonder whales in September.
Can you do it again?
I spill the tea like a bashful queen.
To do it again means you understand.
I understand it like a goal.
The music is silent now.
The news station is talkative like it should,
It outweighs my Demi Lovato cloud of thought.
So you understand?
Can you turn it off?
The television?
I can, but no, I can't,
My mother's heart is on the couch,
That couch, that couch-
The television being loud,
It reminds me of skyscrapers.
The line of thoughts,
The waves of thoughts,
The emotional thinking connected to the nation,
like collaborations,
It keeps me thinking.
I listen to the anchor telling the news,
I listen to music and think of people,
No tall tales,
My mother chuckles,
Understanding the frustrations.
It's giving me a warm chill.
I can turn off the t.v!
But she's learning on the comfy brown love seat.
I'm a distraction.
What woman can live and not fear death? TikTok.
My thoughts return to a Demi Lovato bleeding heart,
The damage is done,
The next song: Somebody I used to know.
