(2014)
If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile
I am stronger Than you think I am I am weaker Than I look
I don’t expect Diabetes education For the public But chances are You know one
Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump
It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper
The more you treat me like a nag The more I become one I’m sorry if I micromanage Your clean clothes Your hot meals
He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere
Restless As I lay in bed Trying to fall asleep These are my clues I might be low
The passive-aggressive Guilt trip Is a weak tool For your purpose The sensitive
My parents always say We’re proud of you I am too I got out of bed I used to get so much done
A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music
Algunos me gusta compartir Calientitos Justo cuando salgan del horno Que no se enfríe Por eso lo escribí
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
A family trait Massage Is our vice No shame Take what
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
