Name: Meki

| This is my water bottle
It’s dented And scratched This is my water bottle It rattles This is my water bottle It’s old, Because it’s been with me everywhere |
This is my bedroom
It’s a keeper of secrets And a hider of shoes This is my bedroom It’s messy and chaotic Clothes and bedding Strewn everywhere This is my bedroom It’s messy but it’s mine I wouldn’t have it any other way |
