(2014)
When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery
Antisocial tendencies Amplified by sickness I can people watch Yet I can’t people talk I am lonely
I don’t expect Diabetes education For the public But chances are You know one
My heart breaks A little each day For problems I can’t solve For things I can’t change All I can do is pray
Destruction is fun But cannot be undone Smashed Trashed Crumpled
Are you ever tired Of just being you? Did you ever Want to be Someone new?
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
A healthy pancreas Is like a transmission Seamlessly shifting gears In type 2 diabetics Wear and tear
Tomorrow Has not yet come It’s promises yet to be broken Tomorrow Is bigger
I enjoy his company Riding shotgun Conversation No one to overhear Our inside jokes
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
How do I Catch your interest? Once again I know You are bored with me
Have you ever felt A hole inside of you Something dead inside Where your heart Is supposed to be?
Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
