Rich girl feet

Pretty and dainty

Rich girl feet

Meant to be

Beside the pool

They don’t like to work

Ready to be

Pampered

Massaged

Polished

And manicured

So why

Are they attached to me,

Who is broke?

For if feet can’t walk

Then what are they for?

Restless As I lay in bed Trying to fall asleep These are my clues I might be low

I am stronger Than you think I am I am weaker Than I look

Inspirational quotes Are full of crap Whatever meaning Is lost In the sea

The Sun of Texas

May sun is warm An old friend You have missed June sun Still smiles

My pump Constant companion Of my disease My sensor Resembles a feeding

Measured in cups

My parents always say We’re proud of you I am too I got out of bed I used to get so much done

The pressure inside Is building It comes out through my eyes I stop up the tears It comes out through my nose

Geometrical heart

I cannot divide My heart Into four pieces Equally Geometrically

My soft spot My sweet boy I’d do anything for Who convinced me Little boys are the best

It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper

That crazy driver in front of you

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