(2014)
Down to earth I am but of dust Dust particles I see floating in the air Carbon molecules
I need to tell you How to survive With our disposition It’s okay to cry Maybe
Mis manchas de Bambi Manchas blancas Cubren mi cuerpo La gente se queda mirando Pero no les da asco
Scratchy plaid blanket Red with yellow stripes Hot and itchy underneath Claustrophobia strikes Purple and blue prisms
Ask any female Love Is in the details I love you Three greatest words
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
I do not enjoy roller coasters I am not chicken But they say You just have to try it! So I do
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
I don’t expect Diabetes education For the public But chances are You know one
I am unique In so many ways But while variety excites What we look for Is our common thread
I cannot apologize For writing what I feel inside If it is hard to read It is harder to live I will understand
By nature high-strung But I thought I was strong If not physically, emotionally For things to roll off my back Be mature and take the high road
A joke Lost in Translation You will Never
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
The pine trees Reach up On both sides Of the road Telling me
