(2015)
For my beautiful nieces and nephews, who of course are the funnest kids in the whole wide world.
I am stronger Than you think I am I am weaker Than I look
If I was in a beauty pageant My talent would be 'Lefty who writes upside-down’ Beside the contestant Who burps her ABC’s
I am sorry That I cannot be happier I know that I’d be prettier If I smiled If I could smile
I will be Forever in debt To my mother Any gift Would come up short
A fresh faced country girl Who pioneers on her bicycle Catches the eye Of a transplant from Houston Love begins through letters
Look in the mirror What is it you see? Hazel eyes above your Favorite black dress Looks clean and fresh
Itus and Itis Crashed my party I didn’t invite them! I whisper to my sister They make my skin crawl
Most women are cooks But a man who cooks Is a chef She cooks over and over To feed the masses
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
How do I Catch your interest? Once again I know You are bored with me
Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field
Antes lograba tanto Metía horas Sacando lo máximo De cada minuto No he cambiado
A conversation With a true friend Leaves your life richer Maybe with a laugh A smile on your face
The medication is not me But neither is the sickness it tre… You may hear its effects In my voice In my opinions
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
