(2014)
I need to tell you How to survive With our disposition It’s okay to cry Maybe
I am unique In so many ways But while variety excites What we look for Is our common thread
The ugliest shade Of green We envy The car The job
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
How do you measure pain? All is relative and personal Even with one’s own self It is impossible to compare As memory distorts pain
My sister’s cookies Chocolate chip Got my nephew to Say her name For the first time
Who’s the best? Ask my Daddy He’ll tell you Enthusiastically He always sees
How do you describe A man so dramatic? You can recognize him From afar with his hat Always the gentleman
Tomorrow Has not yet come It’s promises yet to be broken Tomorrow Is bigger
I cannot divide My heart Into four pieces Equally Geometrically
I look away Afraid to see Flicker of nerves In their eye A clench
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
When I think of my mom I think of malt o meal muffins When I think of my dad Memories of a child Chasing us around the circle
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music
