(2014)
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
May sun is warm An old friend You have missed June sun Still smiles
The ugliest shade Of green We envy The car The job
Who’s the best? Ask my Daddy He’ll tell you Enthusiastically He always sees
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
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
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
Uh-Oh! Cranky mood Throws a fit Over cereal Cheerios
If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
If you find someone That can do it Better than you Get them on your team
Who am I? I am me When did I Become me? As I recall
It’s not pretty When I cry People get almost as embarrassed as I
You must commit To an outfit Where are you going? In sporty yoga pants Athletic top
Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump
