(2015)
I love to hear poetry read Rather than performed I love to hear each word Appreciated Rather than memorized
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
Uh-Oh! Cranky mood Throws a fit Over cereal Cheerios
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
Beautiful legs The right shape and curve Olive color without the green That tans and doesn’t burn Until you see
The passive-aggressive Guilt trip Is a weak tool For your purpose The sensitive
No es solo la tristeza Aunque si lo estoy No es por el desanimo Aunque si me desanimo No es tan sencillo
If you find someone That can do it Better than you Get them on your team
My objective is selfish Not to share or be heard To get it out and move on No one seems to hear my pain No one seems to feel my pain
I know it’s for the best But it still hurts Hearing mothers complain For what I would give anything fo… My husband says no
Down to earth I am but of dust Dust particles I see floating in the air Carbon molecules
Rough day Rough night If I could live In my bath Water would never
My grandfather told my father when he proposed to my mother on one condition
Have you ever felt A hole inside of you Something dead inside Where your heart Is supposed to be?
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
