(2014)
Uh-Oh! Cranky mood Throws a fit Over cereal Cheerios
Beautiful legs The right shape and curve Olive color without the green That tans and doesn’t burn Until you see
Why can’t I choose to be somewhere in the middle? Surrounded by extremes Measure everything With a grain of salt
You must commit To an outfit Where are you going? In sporty yoga pants Athletic top
Antisocial tendencies Amplified by sickness I can people watch Yet I can’t people talk I am lonely
What if one day I wasn’t there for you? And you were left needing me If I wasn’t there When you woke up
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
I would never choose To eat a granola bar Or peanut butter crackers Though I eat them All of the time
A conversation With a true friend Leaves your life richer Maybe with a laugh A smile on your face
Are you ever tired Of just being you? Did you ever Want to be Someone new?
Does the world need Another book? Another poem? I add one more to the pile To be left alone
The medication is not me But neither is the sickness it tre… You may hear its effects In my voice In my opinions
I crave stability Neither wandering spirit Nor home-body Yes I’d love to travel But the foundation
Que te cuentan un chiste Las palabras se traducen Pero el humor no se puede Por si no lo entiendes Ríete
