Haha mee too I write little sayings in text message drafts before I forget them beside my bed then pick back up the next day in my journal or whatever
It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper
Mis manchas de Bambi Manchas blancas Cubren mi cuerpo La gente se queda mirando Pero no les da asco
No hay nada más sincero Que un regalo Inesperado Una carta Un chocolate
Why can’t I choose to be somewhere in the middle? Surrounded by extremes Measure everything With a grain of salt
Inspirational quotes Are full of crap Whatever meaning Is lost In the sea
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
I don’t expect Diabetes education For the public But chances are You know one
Look in the mirror What is it you see? Hazel eyes above your Favorite black dress Looks clean and fresh
Rough day Rough night If I could live In my bath Water would never
A conversation With a true friend Leaves your life richer Maybe with a laugh A smile on your face
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
No es solo la tristeza Aunque si lo estoy No es por el desanimo Aunque si me desanimo No es tan sencillo
If I was in a beauty pageant My talent would be 'Lefty who writes upside-down’ Beside the contestant Who burps her ABC’s
I love to hear poetry read Rather than performed I love to hear each word Appreciated Rather than memorized
Dime ¿Qué es su lengua materna? Ni inglés Ni español Sus padres no hablan inglés
