(2014)
Didn’t they know that people cared? That they were loved? Why didn’t someone tell them?
Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump
Are you ever tired Of just being you? Did you ever Want to be Someone new?
Don’t talk down to me I am not a child! Even children Deserve respect
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery
Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
I cannot divide My heart Into four pieces Equally Geometrically
Would I rather be A younger me? More productive Stronger Would i have to give up
Itus and Itis Crashed my party I didn’t invite them! I whisper to my sister They make my skin crawl
Pragmatic me Doesn’t like this girl You can’t depend on her Too complex to understand She cries at the worst times
How do you measure pain? All is relative and personal Even with one’s own self It is impossible to compare As memory distorts pain
The medication is not me But neither is the sickness it tre… You may hear its effects In my voice In my opinions
I’ve known Deep inside All along My value That I matter
If you find someone That can do it Better than you Get them on your team
