Type 1 Diabetes
(2014)
I will be Forever in debt To my mother Any gift Would come up short
The ugliest shade Of green We envy The car The job
It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
My parents always say We’re proud of you I am too I got out of bed I used to get so much done
I feel like crap Most days I have a lot going my way I am loved I can smile
Who’s the best? Ask my Daddy He’ll tell you Enthusiastically He always sees
Destruction is fun But cannot be undone Smashed Trashed Crumpled
How do you describe A man so dramatic? You can recognize him From afar with his hat Always the gentleman
I’m watching a woman in a bikini In great shape with a swollen bell… Play with her puppy named Gatsby A Hispanic family comes The little girl dips her feet in
I need to tell you How to survive With our disposition It’s okay to cry Maybe
Have you ever felt A hole inside of you Something dead inside Where your heart Is supposed to be?
I crave stability Neither wandering spirit Nor home-body Yes I’d love to travel But the foundation
To be a true artist Must they be recluses Crazy mad or sick Or even better dead Show me a healthy artist
The strings that attach me To this world Ground me Yes they sometimes Keep me from flying
