Lonely

Antisocial tendencies
Amplified by sickness
I can people watch
Yet I can’t people talk
I am lonely
With only fish
To keep me company
The wind
Plays with my hair
As the sun
Warms my skin
Someone, somewhere
Wants me to know
I am lonely
But I am not alone

(2015)

My pump Constant companion Of my disease My sensor Resembles a feeding

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
Driving standard

A healthy pancreas Is like a transmission Seamlessly shifting gears In type 2 diabetics Wear and tear
Spanglish

Dime ¿Qué es su lengua materna? Ni inglés Ni español Sus padres no hablan inglés
