(2014)
Your enthusiasm exhausts me This coke is flat The bubbles disperse Leaving a sticky and sweet Aftertaste
I find richness In the mixture In what others disdain Young people lost Between two cultures
I do not enjoy roller coasters I am not chicken But they say You just have to try it! So I do
Why can’t I choose to be somewhere in the middle? Surrounded by extremes Measure everything With a grain of salt
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
No es solo la tristeza Aunque si lo estoy No es por el desanimo Aunque si me desanimo No es tan sencillo
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
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
I will be Forever in debt To my mother Any gift Would come up short
Does it hurt? When you prick your finger No I do this just for fun Our fingers lose feeling
Itus and Itis Crashed my party I didn’t invite them! I whisper to my sister They make my skin crawl
The teenage rebels All fall in line Be they hippies Goths, rockers or skaters Moving from one mould
Algunos me gusta compartir Calientitos Justo cuando salgan del horno Que no se enfríe Por eso lo escribí
When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery
Dime ¿Qué es su lengua materna? Ni inglés Ni español Sus padres no hablan inglés
