Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know
Scratchy plaid blanket Red with yellow stripes Hot and itchy underneath Claustrophobia strikes Purple and blue prisms
My parents always say We’re proud of you I am too I got out of bed I used to get so much done
Hillary’s beautiful Rose Bumpy’s favorite princess My mini-me, my little lion Cute button nose Framed by red hair
My pump Constant companion Of my disease My sensor Resembles a feeding
Escogí las palabras Más adecuadas Por lo que yo Quería decir Abrí la boca
I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
Antisocial tendencies Amplified by sickness I can people watch Yet I can’t people talk I am lonely
The more you treat me like a nag The more I become one I’m sorry if I micromanage Your clean clothes Your hot meals
How do you describe A man so dramatic? You can recognize him From afar with his hat Always the gentleman
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
La presión atrapada Busca por donde salir Tapo mi boca Se me sale por los ojos Tapo mis ojos
I am sorry That I cannot be happier I know that I’d be prettier If I smiled If I could smile
Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump
