If you want to know me, par Laura Alaniz

If you want to know me

I cannot apologize

For writing what I feel inside

If it is hard to read

It is harder to live

I will understand

If you need to turn away

If it hurts to look

If you want to know me

I will be here

Even the ugly parts of me

(2014)

Cheap clothes and lattes

I am a consumer Female Twenties I buy Cheap clothes and lattes

If I must die

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

Forever in Debt

I will be Forever in debt To my mother Any gift Would come up short

HEB

Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know

Dos vidas entretejidas

¿Te fue mal el día? Me va mal también a mi Dos vidas entretejidas Irrevocablemente Te cargo a ti encima

Love is in the details

Ask any female Love Is in the details I love you Three greatest words

Public Humiliation

I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind

The nightwriter

My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory

Itus & Itis

Itus and Itis Crashed my party I didn’t invite them! I whisper to my sister They make my skin crawl

Does it hurt?

Does it hurt? When you prick your finger No I do this just for fun Our fingers lose feeling

Man in a hat

How do you describe A man so dramatic? You can recognize him From afar with his hat Always the gentleman

Is it ready?

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

Pump at the dump

Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump

Dirt

Down to earth I am but of dust Dust particles I see floating in the air Carbon molecules

Better or best?

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