(2014)
Mis manchas de Bambi Manchas blancas Cubren mi cuerpo La gente se queda mirando Pero no les da asco
A conversation With a true friend Leaves your life richer Maybe with a laugh A smile on your face
My heart breaks A little each day For problems I can’t solve For things I can’t change All I can do is pray
I cannot apologize For writing what I feel inside If it is hard to read It is harder to live I will understand
Clinical smells Polite strangers The only thing worse Than being here Is to not be able
No pido disculpas Por escribir Lo que siento Lo que llevo adentro Lo que vivo
The medication is not me But neither is the sickness it tre… You may hear its effects In my voice In my opinions
Dime ¿Qué es su lengua materna? Ni inglés Ni español Sus padres no hablan inglés
Your pain is far away I hear it But I do not feel it Move closer Let me know you’re here to stay
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
I will be Forever in debt To my mother Any gift Would come up short
The teenage rebels All fall in line Be they hippies Goths, rockers or skaters Moving from one mould
To be genius means To not follow the rules You don’t have to I wish to be smart But not self-important
A healthy pancreas Is like a transmission Seamlessly shifting gears In type 2 diabetics Wear and tear
The strings that attach me To this world Ground me Yes they sometimes Keep me from flying
