If you are Isaiah
If you are Isaiah...
Your parents gave you a ridiculously long name
having no idea
you would have plenty personality to fill it
If you are Isaiah...
It is not a stick
It is a piece to the latest wolf trap
or ant home
or plane
If you are Isaiah...
you keep the beat
of whatever room you're in
just like your Daddy
If you are Isaiah...
you bounce from one thing to another
and drive your auntie's crazy
and love every second of it.
If you are Isaiah...
your room is always clean
your clothes are always folded
and your shoes are always missing
If you are Isaiah...
You hug your mom fifty times a day
and tell her she's beautiful
and that you like her meatloaf when you know you're in trouble
