I can

I can ride my bike with no handlebars
no really, I can.
I can write poetry like it's no big deal,
my record is 10 in one hour.
I can end a conversation with one word,
and that word is bitch.
I can make my own dinner,
proving my womanhood, right?
I can make judgments all I want about people
as long as I get to know them afterward.
I can crank out text after text after text
and not hurt my thumbs.
I can comfort any human being
with just a few words and a hug.
I can make you feel loved
even when you're totally numb.
I can memorize the entire prologue of a book,
after I've heard it only 5 times.
I can make you squirm in your chair
with just a look.
I can make you hurt,
without even trying.
I can make you fall in love with me,
no matter who you are.
I can sit here and brag all day
but that's not how I roll.
I can't write a novel even though I want to.
I can't write happy things, not as often as I'd like.
I can't remember the simple things.
I can't spell supercali...whatever.
I can't keep up with the drama.
I can't keep myself out of trouble.
I can't stay calm cool and collected all the time.
I can't remember the names of songs.
I can't remember the lyrics.
I can't stop hurting people.
I can't stop being a sadistic bitch.
I can't stop hating myself.
But guess what.
I can ride my bike with no handlebars.
Suck on that.
