(2014)
I am sorry That I cannot be happier I know that I’d be prettier If I smiled If I could smile
By nature high-strung But I thought I was strong If not physically, emotionally For things to roll off my back Be mature and take the high road
Restless As I lay in bed Trying to fall asleep These are my clues I might be low
When I think of my mom I think of malt o meal muffins When I think of my dad Memories of a child Chasing us around the circle
Love is sincere Sincerely Wanting to connect Love makes you crazy Insanity that makes you fly
Does the world need Another book? Another poem? I add one more to the pile To be left alone
Destruction is fun But cannot be undone Smashed Trashed Crumpled
La presión atrapada Busca por donde salir Tapo mi boca Se me sale por los ojos Tapo mis ojos
The pressure inside Is building It comes out through my eyes I stop up the tears It comes out through my nose
Your pain is far away I hear it But I do not feel it Move closer Let me know you’re here to stay
How do you describe A man so dramatic? You can recognize him From afar with his hat Always the gentleman
Yo te amo Tres palabras Que solucionen todo Para la mujer Tan complicada
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
