#Depression
Algunos me gusta compartir Calientitos Justo cuando salgan del horno Que no se enfríe Por eso lo escribí
Yo te amo Tres palabras Que solucionen todo Para la mujer Tan complicada
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
Uh-Oh! Cranky mood Throws a fit Over cereal Cheerios
Who am I? I am me When did I Become me? As I recall
I look away Afraid to see Flicker of nerves In their eye A clench
The strings that attach me To this world Ground me Yes they sometimes Keep me from flying
A family trait Massage Is our vice No shame Take what
Pragmatic me Doesn’t like this girl You can’t depend on her Too complex to understand She cries at the worst times
No hay nada más sincero Que un regalo Inesperado Una carta Un chocolate
Escogí las palabras Más adecuadas Por lo que yo Quería decir Abrí la boca
It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper
My body is perfect —ly spotted The white spots I tell myself Are my Bambi spots
My sister’s cookies Chocolate chip Got my nephew to Say her name For the first time
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
