My Name

oushie12 • 272 followers

Everywhere I go these days,
My name keeps popping up.
Vera this and Vera that...people just shut up!

I wouldn't mind if it was being said in a direct way,
But I keep hearing it on the telly and it won't seem to go away.

The people who possess my name aren't bubbly and full of fun,
They're little old ladies in rocking chairs!
Is this meant to be a pun?

I'm only just getting started my friends! In my skinny jeans I'm still fitting,
Anyway, I must dash, I've got a deadline with my knitting.

A Girl

I saw a girl. She had blonde curls. Her eyes were blue. Her nails like pearls. She had a smile. So like a child. Which she was. At least for a while. I looked again that while later.

Just Molly

I've been called many names. Bitch, slut, mols, knob head (said lovingly) mooch, and more. All mean a different thing, from person to person with different feelings and thoughts on me.

Still Got It

Sometimes you need to know you've still got it,. The reassuring wink and nudge still got it,. The walk into a lamppost still got it,. The wow you look too young to be his mum still got it,.

Complex.

People try to sum up their life,. With songs, words or pictures,. But if your mind is partly complex,. I guess it would be a mixture,. Not one line can describe me,. No word is perfectly right,.
