If I could be anything for you
I’d be a backpack
That way I could help you carry your burdens
Hold your secrets
And all your necessities
I would be close to you
Any closer and I’d be
A fannypack
And those aren’t in style

I absolutely love this. It’s cute, sweet and still clever. Innocent, and humorous, as well. I’ve got too many adjectives for this little poem. ❤

Thanks! This is one of only a few pieces I’ve ‘performed’ (if you call mumbling nervously to a silent room a performance, that is) 🙂

“and those aren’t in style” nice… i know the feeling… get close but not so close that you appear uncool and desperate. well done.
