(2015)
I find richness In the mixture In what others disdain Young people lost Between two cultures
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music
It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper
Inspirational quotes Are full of crap Whatever meaning Is lost In the sea
The E’s squeak by The I’s are too excited The U’s come after Q But the A’s and the O’s They flow
Does the world need Another book? Another poem? I add one more to the pile To be left alone
Restless As I lay in bed Trying to fall asleep These are my clues I might be low
Don’t talk down to me I am not a child! Even children Deserve respect
The pressure inside Is building It comes out through my eyes I stop up the tears It comes out through my nose
Clinical smells Polite strangers The only thing worse Than being here Is to not be able
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
Springtime means Berry pickin’ In warm sun Therapeutic Part of me
Yo te amo Tres palabras Que solucionen todo Para la mujer Tan complicada
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
