(2014)
It’s not pretty When I cry People get almost as embarrassed as I
Escogí las palabras Más adecuadas Por lo que yo Quería decir Abrí la boca
Your pain is far away I hear it But I do not feel it Move closer Let me know you’re here to stay
The news hit me Like a punch in the gut I threw up two times From the pain Knowing that I
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
Her fingernails Natural Long Pointed On fingers
I spend all my time Fighting with you In my head If we fought At least it would be
I can feel it coming Decisions I can’t make Brain starts to freeze Fingers won’t work Sick of this disease
Inspirational quotes Are full of crap Whatever meaning Is lost In the sea
My pump Constant companion Of my disease My sensor Resembles a feeding
If food is poetry The flavors The smells Singing in harmony Is poetry food?
The pressure inside Is building It comes out through my eyes I stop up the tears It comes out through my nose
Hospitality To love a stranger It need not be much For one who has little Will appreciate it
Antisocial tendencies Amplified by sickness I can people watch Yet I can’t people talk I am lonely
The E’s squeak by The I’s are too excited The U’s come after Q But the A’s and the O’s They flow
