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)

Man in a hat

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

Manos fuertes No me sueltan De la cama Yo les digo Me tengo que ir
Truth is..

I feel like crap Most days I have a lot going my way I am loved I can smile
Arsenal of language

To love reading Writing and words And not be able to Communicate Frustrated
If I must die

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

Respect begets respect

The more you treat me like a nag The more I become one I’m sorry if I micromanage Your clean clothes Your hot meals

HEB

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

A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music

Nothing

How can I write how I feel When what I feel is nothing? How can I tell you what I need, What is wrong? When what is wrong

A low's a comin'

I can feel it coming Decisions I can’t make Brain starts to freeze Fingers won’t work Sick of this disease

How do you measure pain?

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
