(2015)
Tomorrow Has not yet come It’s promises yet to be broken Tomorrow Is bigger
Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly
Don’t talk down to me I am not a child! Even children Deserve respect
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field
The teenage rebels All fall in line Be they hippies Goths, rockers or skaters Moving from one mould
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
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
If you find someone That can do it Better than you Get them on your team
To love reading Writing and words And not be able to Communicate Frustrated
She is no longer Part of my life I’ve moved on My life is full With friends
Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery
