I am stronger Than you think I am I am weaker Than I look
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
Antes lograba tanto Metía horas Sacando lo máximo De cada minuto No he cambiado
If you find someone That can do it Better than you Get them on your team
He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere
No es solo la tristeza Aunque si lo estoy No es por el desanimo Aunque si me desanimo No es tan sencillo
It’s not pretty When I cry People get almost as embarrassed as I
The news hit me Like a punch in the gut I threw up two times From the pain Knowing that I
Would I rather be A younger me? More productive Stronger Would i have to give up
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
Does the world need Another book? Another poem? I add one more to the pile To be left alone
I know it’s for the best But it still hurts Hearing mothers complain For what I would give anything fo… My husband says no
Your enthusiasm exhausts me This coke is flat The bubbles disperse Leaving a sticky and sweet Aftertaste
Uh-Oh! Cranky mood Throws a fit Over cereal Cheerios
