(2014)
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
I find richness In the mixture In what others disdain Young people lost Between two cultures
I cannot apologize For writing what I feel inside If it is hard to read It is harder to live I will understand
My sister’s cookies Chocolate chip Got my nephew to Say her name For the first time
My grandfather told my father when he proposed to my mother on one condition
Look in the mirror What is it you see? Hazel eyes above your Favorite black dress Looks clean and fresh
¿Te duele Cuándo piques tu dedo? No Lo hago por pura diversión Lo que duele
How do you measure pain? All is relative and personal Even with one’s own self It is impossible to compare As memory distorts pain
If I was in a beauty pageant My talent would be 'Lefty who writes upside-down’ Beside the contestant Who burps her ABC’s
I enjoy his company Riding shotgun Conversation No one to overhear Our inside jokes
A healthy pancreas Is like a transmission Seamlessly shifting gears In type 2 diabetics Wear and tear
If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile
I am a consumer Female Twenties I buy Cheap clothes and lattes
When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery
