(2015)
I need to tell you How to survive With our disposition It’s okay to cry Maybe
Restless As I lay in bed Trying to fall asleep These are my clues I might be low
I will be Forever in debt To my mother Any gift Would come up short
Antisocial tendencies Amplified by sickness I can people watch Yet I can’t people talk I am lonely
Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
My soft spot My sweet boy I’d do anything for Who convinced me Little boys are the best
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
Nothing makes people flee Like reading them poetry They value it in theory But please don’t make them read Surprise me with your verse
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
I feel like crap Most days I have a lot going my way I am loved I can smile
Hillary’s beautiful Rose Bumpy’s favorite princess My mini-me, my little lion Cute button nose Framed by red hair
My parents always say We’re proud of you I am too I got out of bed I used to get so much done
Pragmatic me Doesn’t like this girl You can’t depend on her Too complex to understand She cries at the worst times
Clinical smells Polite strangers The only thing worse Than being here Is to not be able
