(2014)
Have you ever felt A hole inside of you Something dead inside Where your heart Is supposed to be?
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
Antisocial tendencies Amplified by sickness I can people watch Yet I can’t people talk I am lonely
Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack
Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
Didn’t they know that people cared? That they were loved? Why didn’t someone tell them?
Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field
No pido disculpas Por escribir Lo que siento Lo que llevo adentro Lo que vivo
Rough day Rough night If I could live In my bath Water would never
I told everyone About you The ugly beast Inside of me You can’t hide
I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface
Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go
I love to hear poetry read Rather than performed I love to hear each word Appreciated Rather than memorized
I find richness In the mixture In what others disdain Young people lost Between two cultures
You might know her As blonde eyes Or as the sister who bakes cookies But you see I don’t write this
