How do I Catch your interest? Once again I know You are bored with me

How can I write how I feel When what I feel is nothing? How can I tell you what I need, What is wrong? When what is wrong

I spend all my time Fighting with you In my head If we fought At least it would be

Does the world need Another book? Another poem? I add one more to the pile To be left alone

If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile

A joke Lost in Translation You will Never

Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field

He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere

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

The ugliest shade Of green We envy The car The job

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

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

My objective is selfish Not to share or be heard To get it out and move on No one seems to hear my pain No one seems to feel my pain
