(2015)
The whole world Aches and groans Do you feel her pain? The human in me Wants to heal mankind
I had it all In my head And then I said Words I do not know which ones
You might know her As blonde eyes Or as the sister who bakes cookies But you see I don’t write this
I spend all my time Fighting with you In my head If we fought At least it would be
If I was in a beauty pageant My talent would be 'Lefty who writes upside-down’ Beside the contestant Who burps her ABC’s
My body is perfect —ly spotted The white spots I tell myself Are my Bambi spots
Inspirational quotes Are full of crap Whatever meaning Is lost In the sea
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
Some I like to share Fresh out of the oven Don’t let it get cold That’s why I wrote it Emotions in that moment
Pragmatic me Doesn’t like this girl You can’t depend on her Too complex to understand She cries at the worst times
May sun is warm An old friend You have missed June sun Still smiles
Does the world need Another book? Another poem? I add one more to the pile To be left alone
If I could paint a man Eyes so dark they shine Brooding and stormy Til the smile breaks through If I could paint a man
Tomorrow Has not yet come It’s promises yet to be broken Tomorrow Is bigger
She is no longer Part of my life I’ve moved on My life is full With friends
