(2014)
I am a consumer Female Twenties I buy Cheap clothes and lattes
Your pain is far away I hear it But I do not feel it Move closer Let me know you’re here to stay
If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile
Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack
Nothing makes people flee Like reading them poetry They value it in theory But please don’t make them read Surprise me with your verse
I do not enjoy roller coasters I am not chicken But they say You just have to try it! So I do
My parents always say We’re proud of you I am too I got out of bed I used to get so much done
Don’t talk down to me I am not a child! Even children Deserve respect
A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music
An idea In my head Falls flat On paper Read it
My body is perfect —ly spotted The white spots I tell myself Are my Bambi spots
Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly
If I could paint a man Eyes so dark they shine Brooding and stormy Til the smile breaks through If I could paint a man
La presión atrapada Busca por donde salir Tapo mi boca Se me sale por los ojos Tapo mis ojos
Look in the mirror What is it you see? Hazel eyes above your Favorite black dress Looks clean and fresh
