Type 1 Diabetes
(2014)
It’s not pretty When I cry People get almost as embarrassed as I
A fresh faced country girl Who pioneers on her bicycle Catches the eye Of a transplant from Houston Love begins through letters
I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface
Down to earth I am but of dust Dust particles I see floating in the air Carbon molecules
No es solo la tristeza Aunque si lo estoy No es por el desanimo Aunque si me desanimo No es tan sencillo
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
Uh-Oh! Cranky mood Throws a fit Over cereal Cheerios
The human heart ...leaps and jumps ...races and sings ...sighs and groans The treacherous heart can
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
An idea In my head Falls flat On paper Read it
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
Your enthusiasm exhausts me This coke is flat The bubbles disperse Leaving a sticky and sweet Aftertaste
I know it’s for the best But it still hurts Hearing mothers complain For what I would give anything fo… My husband says no
I had it all In my head And then I said Words I do not know which ones
My heart breaks A little each day For problems I can’t solve For things I can’t change All I can do is pray
