(2015)
My parents always say We’re proud of you I am too I got out of bed I used to get so much done
Your enthusiasm exhausts me This coke is flat The bubbles disperse Leaving a sticky and sweet Aftertaste
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
¿Te fue mal el día? Me va mal también a mi Dos vidas entretejidas Irrevocablemente Te cargo a ti encima
Yo te amo Tres palabras Que solucionen todo Para la mujer Tan complicada
This world is covered in bias It’s all over you It’s all over me too This world is covered in bias It shades our words
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
Blonde eyes To match her hair Life is mean She counts her blessings Hopes for the best
It’s not pretty When I cry People get almost as embarrassed as I
Who am I? I am me When did I Become me? As I recall
Love is sincere Sincerely Wanting to connect Love makes you crazy Insanity that makes you fly
My pump Constant companion Of my disease My sensor Resembles a feeding
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
He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere
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
