How do I Catch your interest? Once again I know You are bored with me

Good secret Bubbles inside Let me out Bad secret Indigestion

Why can’t I choose to be somewhere in the middle? Surrounded by extremes Measure everything With a grain of salt

If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile

Pragmatic me Doesn’t like this girl You can’t depend on her Too complex to understand She cries at the worst times

When I think of my mom I think of malt o meal muffins When I think of my dad Memories of a child Chasing us around the circle

Does the world need Another book? Another poem? I add one more to the pile To be left alone

I don’t expect Diabetes education For the public But chances are You know one

If I could draw a tree In all it’s complexity Would you be impressed? If I could draw a human face It would be but a trace

If you find someone That can do it Better than you Get them on your team

I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface

Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
