(2014)
I told everyone About you The ugly beast Inside of me You can’t hide
The whole world Aches and groans Do you feel her pain? The human in me Wants to heal mankind
Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack
Tomorrow Has not yet come It’s promises yet to be broken Tomorrow Is bigger
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
Uh-Oh! Cranky mood Throws a fit Over cereal Cheerios
Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
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
My parents always say We’re proud of you I am too I got out of bed I used to get so much done
Rough day Rough night If I could live In my bath Water would never
If I could paint a man Eyes so dark they shine Brooding and stormy Til the smile breaks through If I could paint a man
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
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
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
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
