Psoriasis
I am unique In so many ways But while variety excites What we look for Is our common thread
When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery
Look in the mirror What is it you see? Hazel eyes above your Favorite black dress Looks clean and fresh
My body is perfect —ly spotted The white spots I tell myself Are my Bambi spots
I don’t expect Diabetes education For the public But chances are You know one
Rough day Rough night If I could live In my bath Water would never
Why can’t I choose to be somewhere in the middle? Surrounded by extremes Measure everything With a grain of salt
I told everyone About you The ugly beast Inside of me You can’t hide
Down to earth I am but of dust Dust particles I see floating in the air Carbon molecules
Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
I enjoy his company Riding shotgun Conversation No one to overhear Our inside jokes
A joke Lost in Translation You will Never
Your pain is far away I hear it But I do not feel it Move closer Let me know you’re here to stay
Ask any female Love Is in the details I love you Three greatest words
