(2014)
To love reading Writing and words And not be able to Communicate Frustrated
Nothing makes people flee Like reading them poetry They value it in theory But please don’t make them read Surprise me with your verse
My parents always say We’re proud of you I am too I got out of bed I used to get so much done
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 need to tell you How to survive With our disposition It’s okay to cry Maybe
No hay nada más sincero Que un regalo Inesperado Una carta Un chocolate
The strings that attach me To this world Ground me Yes they sometimes Keep me from flying
When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery
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
Dime ¿Qué es su lengua materna? Ni inglés Ni español Sus padres no hablan inglés
The human heart ...leaps and jumps ...races and sings ...sighs and groans The treacherous heart can
Filler words Put me to sleep Added to cushion Take away my pillow Blunt words to wake up
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
Antisocial tendencies Amplified by sickness I can people watch Yet I can’t people talk I am lonely
I am a consumer Female Twenties I buy Cheap clothes and lattes
