(2015)
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
An idea In my head Falls flat On paper Read it
You might know her As blonde eyes Or as the sister who bakes cookies But you see I don’t write this
I am stronger Than you think I am I am weaker Than I look
Desperate for his attention Knowing it will drive him away Jealous of a game - how lame Choking self-esteem where I lay Desperate for his affection
I’ve known Deep inside All along My value That I matter
A family trait Massage Is our vice No shame Take what
If food is poetry The flavors The smells Singing in harmony Is poetry food?
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
I don’t expect Diabetes education For the public But chances are You know one
The passive-aggressive Guilt trip Is a weak tool For your purpose The sensitive
Her fingernails Natural Long Pointed On fingers
The strings that attach me To this world Ground me Yes they sometimes Keep me from flying
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
By nature high-strung But I thought I was strong If not physically, emotionally For things to roll off my back Be mature and take the high road
