[8/25/19]
Mary Jayne turns nineteen
As a broken household queen
Reigns with an unguarded, innocent fist
But harbors and unseen bliss
Coughing up candy cockroaches
Dream of paradise princess coaches
With bone horses and tattered reins
On polluted air and saddened veins
Mary Jayne turned nineteen
Past the legal guarantee
Dreading to turn twenty-one
When alcohol is all that's fun
