I need to tell you How to survive With our disposition It’s okay to cry Maybe

A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music

I would never choose To eat a granola bar Or peanut butter crackers Though I eat them All of the time

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

I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface

This world is covered in bias It’s all over you It’s all over me too This world is covered in bias It shades our words

Itus and Itis Crashed my party I didn’t invite them! I whisper to my sister They make my skin crawl

We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds

Antes lograba tanto Metía horas Sacando lo máximo De cada minuto No he cambiado

My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory

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

What if one day I wasn’t there for you? And you were left needing me If I wasn’t there When you woke up

Beautiful legs The right shape and curve Olive color without the green That tans and doesn’t burn Until you see
