(2015)
Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump
An idea In my head Falls flat On paper Read it
The pine trees Reach up On both sides Of the road Telling me
Down to earth I am but of dust Dust particles I see floating in the air Carbon molecules
I do not enjoy roller coasters I am not chicken But they say You just have to try it! So I do
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
Itchy It has to come off Nerves Makes me pick His look
The whole world Aches and groans Do you feel her pain? The human in me Wants to heal mankind
He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere
How can I write how I feel When what I feel is nothing? How can I tell you what I need, What is wrong? When what is wrong
What if one day I wasn’t there for you? And you were left needing me If I wasn’t there When you woke up
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
La presión atrapada Busca por donde salir Tapo mi boca Se me sale por los ojos Tapo mis ojos
How do you measure pain? All is relative and personal Even with one’s own self It is impossible to compare As memory distorts pain
