(2014)
I cannot apologize For writing what I feel inside If it is hard to read It is harder to live I will understand
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
My sister’s cookies Chocolate chip Got my nephew to Say her name For the first time
A fresh faced country girl Who pioneers on her bicycle Catches the eye Of a transplant from Houston Love begins through letters
I would never choose To eat a granola bar Or peanut butter crackers Though I eat them All of the time
The passive-aggressive Guilt trip Is a weak tool For your purpose The sensitive
Itus and Itis Crashed my party I didn’t invite them! I whisper to my sister They make my skin crawl
Some I like to share Fresh out of the oven Don’t let it get cold That’s why I wrote it Emotions in that moment
A healthy pancreas Is like a transmission Seamlessly shifting gears In type 2 diabetics Wear and tear
I am a consumer Female Twenties I buy Cheap clothes and lattes
It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper
Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly
I had it all In my head And then I said Words I do not know which ones
May sun is warm An old friend You have missed June sun Still smiles
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
