(2015)
I am a consumer Female Twenties I buy Cheap clothes and lattes
To love reading Writing and words And not be able to Communicate Frustrated
A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music
Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
My parents always say We’re proud of you I am too I got out of bed I used to get so much done
Are you ever tired Of just being you? Did you ever Want to be Someone new?
A family trait Massage Is our vice No shame Take what
Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field
If I was in a beauty pageant My talent would be 'Lefty who writes upside-down’ Beside the contestant Who burps her ABC’s
Dime ¿Qué es su lengua materna? Ni inglés Ni español Sus padres no hablan inglés
Why can’t I choose to be somewhere in the middle? Surrounded by extremes Measure everything With a grain of salt
The ugliest shade Of green We envy The car The job
I know it’s for the best But it still hurts Hearing mothers complain For what I would give anything fo… My husband says no
Her fingernails Natural Long Pointed On fingers
I can feel it coming Decisions I can’t make Brain starts to freeze Fingers won’t work Sick of this disease
