This isn't me

The medication is not me
But neither is the sickness it treats
You may hear its effects
In my voice
In my opinions
But it is not me
Somehow it shapes me
Controls me
But I pray
That it is not me
My soul

Truth is..

I feel like crap Most days I have a lot going my way I am loved I can smile
The ugliest shade of green

The ugliest shade Of green We envy The car The job

HEB

Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know
A~E~I~O~U

The E’s squeak by The I’s are too excited The U’s come after Q But the A’s and the O’s They flow
If I must die

Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless

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

Algunos me gusta compartir Calientitos Justo cuando salgan del horno Que no se enfríe Por eso lo escribí
Genius

To be genius means To not follow the rules You don’t have to I wish to be smart But not self-important

It's all in my head

An idea In my head Falls flat On paper Read it
Blunt words

Filler words Put me to sleep Added to cushion Take away my pillow Blunt words to wake up

Poetic flavors

If food is poetry The flavors The smells Singing in harmony Is poetry food?
I want you

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