Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack

Yo te amo Tres palabras Que solucionen todo Para la mujer Tan complicada

You must commit To an outfit Where are you going? In sporty yoga pants Athletic top

When I think of my mom I think of malt o meal muffins When I think of my dad Memories of a child Chasing us around the circle

The pine trees Reach up On both sides Of the road Telling me

The whole world Aches and groans Do you feel her pain? The human in me Wants to heal mankind

Filler words Put me to sleep Added to cushion Take away my pillow Blunt words to wake up

Blonde eyes To match her hair Life is mean She counts her blessings Hopes for the best

Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump

Who am I? I am me When did I Become me? As I recall

Don’t talk down to me I am not a child! Even children Deserve respect

I told everyone About you The ugly beast Inside of me You can’t hide

I’ve known Deep inside All along My value That I matter

Itus and Itis Crashed my party I didn’t invite them! I whisper to my sister They make my skin crawl
