(2014)
I am stronger Than you think I am I am weaker Than I look
If food is poetry The flavors The smells Singing in harmony Is poetry food?
Have you ever felt A hole inside of you Something dead inside Where your heart Is supposed to be?
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
Would I rather be A younger me? More productive Stronger Would i have to give up
I am sorry That I cannot be happier I know that I’d be prettier If I smiled If I could smile
Why do we love sunsets? Distinguishing fascination What other species Must stop and stare A romantic couple
How can I write how I feel When what I feel is nothing? How can I tell you what I need, What is wrong? When what is wrong
If I could draw a tree In all it’s complexity Would you be impressed? If I could draw a human face It would be but a trace
Hospitality To love a stranger It need not be much For one who has little Will appreciate it
What if one day I wasn’t there for you? And you were left needing me If I wasn’t there When you woke up
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
If I was in a beauty pageant My talent would be 'Lefty who writes upside-down’ Beside the contestant Who burps her ABC’s
Destruction is fun But cannot be undone Smashed Trashed Crumpled
