Laura Alaniz

Just. Don't. Be.

I am sorry
That I cannot be happier
I know that I’d be prettier
If I smiled
If I could smile
I tell my cheeks that
But they are full of lead
I tell my eyes
To give it one more try
Think positive
Don’t be depressed
Just
Don’t
Be
Depressed

(2015)

Para compartir

Algunos me gusta compartir Calientitos Justo cuando salgan del horno Que no se enfríe Por eso lo escribí
Arsenal of language

To love reading Writing and words And not be able to Communicate Frustrated
Beside you

Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
Manos Fuertes

Manos fuertes No me sueltan De la cama Yo les digo Me tengo que ir
It's all in my head

An idea In my head Falls flat On paper Read it
Does it hurt?

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

Does the world need Another book? Another poem? I add one more to the pile To be left alone

Truth is..

I feel like crap Most days I have a lot going my way I am loved I can smile
My soft spot

My soft spot My sweet boy I’d do anything for Who convinced me Little boys are the best
Choking on emotion

When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery

Public Humiliation

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

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 am unique

I am unique In so many ways But while variety excites What we look for Is our common thread

Eve's curse

Desperate for his attention Knowing it will drive him away Jealous of a game - how lame Choking self-esteem where I lay Desperate for his affection
