You Are Poem by Charlie Parant

You’re the dog that ate my homework
You’re the fish that stole my bait
You’re the reason I’m so tired
You’re the girl my parents hate

You’re the pebble in my sneaker
You’re the stain that’s in my bed
You’re the handprint on my window
You’re the song stuck in my head

You’re the monster in my closet
You’re the gum stuck in my hair
You’re the snack I crave at midnight
You’re the knock when no one’s there

You’re the spider in my shower
You’re the cork in my Chablis
You’re the nail stuck in my tire
You’re the reason I am me
