(2014)
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
A healthy pancreas Is like a transmission Seamlessly shifting gears In type 2 diabetics Wear and tear
I cannot apologize For writing what I feel inside If it is hard to read It is harder to live I will understand
Itchy It has to come off Nerves Makes me pick His look
How do you describe A man so dramatic? You can recognize him From afar with his hat Always the gentleman
The medication is not me But neither is the sickness it tre… You may hear its effects In my voice In my opinions
I need to tell you How to survive With our disposition It’s okay to cry Maybe
My grandfather told my father when he proposed to my mother on one condition
Scratchy plaid blanket Red with yellow stripes Hot and itchy underneath Claustrophobia strikes Purple and blue prisms
Who’s the best? Ask my Daddy He’ll tell you Enthusiastically He always sees
You might know her As blonde eyes Or as the sister who bakes cookies But you see I don’t write this
Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field
Don’t talk down to me I am not a child! Even children Deserve respect
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
Have you ever felt A hole inside of you Something dead inside Where your heart Is supposed to be?
