My skin

Psoriasis

Itchy
It has to come off
Nerves
Makes me pick
His look
Only thing to still my hand
Shame
But it’s not my fault
Children
Don’t know to be polite
Disgust
People hide from my face
Disgust
They don’t realize I agree

(2014)

Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock

Spanglish

I find richness In the mixture In what others disdain Young people lost Between two cultures
Just. Don't. Be.

I am sorry That I cannot be happier I know that I’d be prettier If I smiled If I could smile
Guilt trip

The passive-aggressive Guilt trip Is a weak tool For your purpose The sensitive
