(2015)
The more you treat me like a nag The more I become one I’m sorry if I micromanage Your clean clothes Your hot meals
The passive-aggressive Guilt trip Is a weak tool For your purpose The sensitive
Nothing makes people flee Like reading them poetry They value it in theory But please don’t make them read Surprise me with your verse
I spend all my time Fighting with you In my head If we fought At least it would be
I cannot apologize For writing what I feel inside If it is hard to read It is harder to live I will understand
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
The E’s squeak by The I’s are too excited The U’s come after Q But the A’s and the O’s They flow
Don’t talk down to me I am not a child! Even children Deserve respect
No es solo la tristeza Aunque si lo estoy No es por el desanimo Aunque si me desanimo No es tan sencillo
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
Scratchy plaid blanket Red with yellow stripes Hot and itchy underneath Claustrophobia strikes Purple and blue prisms
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
Mis manchas de Bambi Manchas blancas Cubren mi cuerpo La gente se queda mirando Pero no les da asco
Que te cuentan un chiste Las palabras se traducen Pero el humor no se puede Por si no lo entiendes Ríete
