(2015)
Dime ¿Qué es su lengua materna? Ni inglés Ni español Sus padres no hablan inglés
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
Itus and Itis Crashed my party I didn’t invite them! I whisper to my sister They make my skin crawl
The pine trees Reach up On both sides Of the road Telling me
How do I Catch your interest? Once again I know You are bored with me
Down to earth I am but of dust Dust particles I see floating in the air Carbon molecules
Blonde eyes To match her hair Life is mean She counts her blessings Hopes for the best
My pump Constant companion Of my disease My sensor Resembles a feeding
Inspirational quotes Are full of crap Whatever meaning Is lost In the sea
The pressure inside Is building It comes out through my eyes I stop up the tears It comes out through my nose
Your pain is far away I hear it But I do not feel it Move closer Let me know you’re here to stay
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
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
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
