(2014)
Ask any female Love Is in the details I love you Three greatest words
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
Itchy It has to come off Nerves Makes me pick His look
Clinical smells Polite strangers The only thing worse Than being here Is to not be able
If I was in a beauty pageant My talent would be 'Lefty who writes upside-down’ Beside the contestant Who burps her ABC’s
No hay nada más sincero Que un regalo Inesperado Una carta Un chocolate
Some I like to share Fresh out of the oven Don’t let it get cold That’s why I wrote it Emotions in that moment
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
To be a true artist Must they be recluses Crazy mad or sick Or even better dead Show me a healthy artist
A fresh faced country girl Who pioneers on her bicycle Catches the eye Of a transplant from Houston Love begins through letters
La presión atrapada Busca por donde salir Tapo mi boca Se me sale por los ojos Tapo mis ojos
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
My parents always say We’re proud of you I am too I got out of bed I used to get so much done
My body is perfect —ly spotted The white spots I tell myself Are my Bambi spots
Filler words Put me to sleep Added to cushion Take away my pillow Blunt words to wake up
