(2014)
To love reading Writing and words And not be able to Communicate Frustrated
Scratchy plaid blanket Red with yellow stripes Hot and itchy underneath Claustrophobia strikes Purple and blue prisms
Tomorrow Has not yet come It’s promises yet to be broken Tomorrow Is bigger
A joke Lost in Translation You will Never
I enjoy his company Riding shotgun Conversation No one to overhear Our inside jokes
I am a consumer Female Twenties I buy Cheap clothes and lattes
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
I love to hear poetry read Rather than performed I love to hear each word Appreciated Rather than memorized
Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
I need to tell you How to survive With our disposition It’s okay to cry Maybe
I find richness In the mixture In what others disdain Young people lost Between two cultures
Desperate for his attention Knowing it will drive him away Jealous of a game - how lame Choking self-esteem where I lay Desperate for his affection
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
If you find someone That can do it Better than you Get them on your team
