i have the body of a girl
and the heart of a jackrabbit
if you see me under the full moon
take a closer look and you will see
that my leg is forever twitching
prepping me to run for
there will always be coyotes
nipping at my heel
i have spent my adolescence running
and i dont think i will ever stop
even when i sleep i dream of running
and even when i am still my heart is not
i am a jackrabbit masquerading as a girl
and this fear will always surround me
of coyotes with their snapping teeth
and death just nipping at my heel
