(2015)
I do not enjoy roller coasters I am not chicken But they say You just have to try it! So I do
Scratchy plaid blanket Red with yellow stripes Hot and itchy underneath Claustrophobia strikes Purple and blue prisms
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
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
Her fingernails Natural Long Pointed On fingers
Who’s the best? Ask my Daddy He’ll tell you Enthusiastically He always sees
Restless As I lay in bed Trying to fall asleep These are my clues I might be low
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump
Itchy It has to come off Nerves Makes me pick His look
Pragmatic me Doesn’t like this girl You can’t depend on her Too complex to understand She cries at the worst times
I am stronger Than you think I am I am weaker Than I look
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
To be genius means To not follow the rules You don’t have to I wish to be smart But not self-important
A fresh faced country girl Who pioneers on her bicycle Catches the eye Of a transplant from Houston Love begins through letters
