(2014)
I would never choose To eat a granola bar Or peanut butter crackers Though I eat them All of the time
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
I will be Forever in debt To my mother Any gift Would come up short
Pragmatic me Doesn’t like this girl You can’t depend on her Too complex to understand She cries at the worst times
Beautiful legs The right shape and curve Olive color without the green That tans and doesn’t burn Until you see
I don’t expect Diabetes education For the public But chances are You know one
A joke Lost in Translation You will Never
It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper
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
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
Que te cuentan un chiste Las palabras se traducen Pero el humor no se puede Por si no lo entiendes Ríete
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
A healthy pancreas Is like a transmission Seamlessly shifting gears In type 2 diabetics Wear and tear
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
You might know her As blonde eyes Or as the sister who bakes cookies But you see I don’t write this
