(2015)
The strings that attach me To this world Ground me Yes they sometimes Keep me from flying
Itchy It has to come off Nerves Makes me pick His look
I’ve known Deep inside All along My value That I matter
My pump Constant companion Of my disease My sensor Resembles a feeding
My sister’s cookies Chocolate chip Got my nephew to Say her name For the first time
The news hit me Like a punch in the gut I threw up two times From the pain Knowing that I
No es solo la tristeza Aunque si lo estoy No es por el desanimo Aunque si me desanimo No es tan sencillo
I cannot divide My heart Into four pieces Equally Geometrically
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
I look away Afraid to see Flicker of nerves In their eye A clench
To love reading Writing and words And not be able to Communicate Frustrated
Blonde eyes To match her hair Life is mean She counts her blessings Hopes for the best
My parents always say We’re proud of you I am too I got out of bed I used to get so much done
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
Are you ever tired Of just being you? Did you ever Want to be Someone new?
