I am stronger Than you think I am I am weaker Than I look
The strings that attach me To this world Ground me Yes they sometimes Keep me from flying
Antisocial tendencies Amplified by sickness I can people watch Yet I can’t people talk I am lonely
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack
Does the world need Another book? Another poem? I add one more to the pile To be left alone
Some I like to share Fresh out of the oven Don’t let it get cold That’s why I wrote it Emotions in that moment
Life is good A little luxury A cup of coffee Served with toast Consumed lazily
To be genius means To not follow the rules You don’t have to I wish to be smart But not self-important
You might know her As blonde eyes Or as the sister who bakes cookies But you see I don’t write this
Algunos me gusta compartir Calientitos Justo cuando salgan del horno Que no se enfríe Por eso lo escribí
The news hit me Like a punch in the gut I threw up two times From the pain Knowing that I
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
He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere
To love reading Writing and words And not be able to Communicate Frustrated
