(2014)
When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery
The whole world Aches and groans Do you feel her pain? The human in me Wants to heal mankind
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
Clinical smells Polite strangers The only thing worse Than being here Is to not be able
Scratchy plaid blanket Red with yellow stripes Hot and itchy underneath Claustrophobia strikes Purple and blue prisms
Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
I know it’s for the best But it still hurts Hearing mothers complain For what I would give anything fo… My husband says no
Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field
Would I rather be A younger me? More productive Stronger Would i have to give up
I spend all my time Fighting with you In my head If we fought At least it would be
No pido disculpas Por escribir Lo que siento Lo que llevo adentro Lo que vivo
A family trait Massage Is our vice No shame Take what
Who’s the best? Ask my Daddy He’ll tell you Enthusiastically He always sees
Are you ever tired Of just being you? Did you ever Want to be Someone new?
Your enthusiasm exhausts me This coke is flat The bubbles disperse Leaving a sticky and sweet Aftertaste
