by Cheryl Merrick

She never pauses. She always interrupts.
She stands too close. She hangs back too far.
She speaks too loudly. She needs to speak up.

She should change.

She runs around too much. She should get out more.
She is inefficient. She needs to get busy.
She need to plan more. She needs to be more social.

She should change.

She talks too superficially. She is much too broody.
She needs to share her She should be more outgoing
feelings with others. with people.

She should change,
           And become more like me.
