(2014)
Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field
Algunos me gusta compartir Calientitos Justo cuando salgan del horno Que no se enfríe Por eso lo escribí
Does it hurt? When you prick your finger No I do this just for fun Our fingers lose feeling
Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go
I told everyone About you The ugly beast Inside of me You can’t hide
I am unique In so many ways But while variety excites What we look for Is our common thread
She is no longer Part of my life I’ve moved on My life is full With friends
Didn’t they know that people cared? That they were loved? Why didn’t someone tell them?
I don’t expect Diabetes education For the public But chances are You know one
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
The teenage rebels All fall in line Be they hippies Goths, rockers or skaters Moving from one mould
Scratchy plaid blanket Red with yellow stripes Hot and itchy underneath Claustrophobia strikes Purple and blue prisms
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
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper
