Type 1 Diabetes
(2014)
I spend all my time Fighting with you In my head If we fought At least it would be
My sister’s cookies Chocolate chip Got my nephew to Say her name For the first time
He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere
Yo te amo Tres palabras Que solucionen todo Para la mujer Tan complicada
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
An idea In my head Falls flat On paper Read it
Mis manchas de Bambi Manchas blancas Cubren mi cuerpo La gente se queda mirando Pero no les da asco
My grandfather told my father when he proposed to my mother on one condition
Look in the mirror What is it you see? Hazel eyes above your Favorite black dress Looks clean and fresh
When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery
May sun is warm An old friend You have missed June sun Still smiles
Does it hurt? When you prick your finger No I do this just for fun Our fingers lose feeling
A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music
¿Te duele Cuándo piques tu dedo? No Lo hago por pura diversión Lo que duele
I told everyone About you The ugly beast Inside of me You can’t hide
