(2014)
Who am I? I am me When did I Become me? As I recall
Didn’t they know that people cared? That they were loved? Why didn’t someone tell them?
Manos fuertes No me sueltan De la cama Yo les digo Me tengo que ir
Pragmatic me Doesn’t like this girl You can’t depend on her Too complex to understand She cries at the worst times
Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
Ask any female Love Is in the details I love you Three greatest words
The medication is not me But neither is the sickness it tre… You may hear its effects In my voice In my opinions
I will be Forever in debt To my mother Any gift Would come up short
Antisocial tendencies Amplified by sickness I can people watch Yet I can’t people talk I am lonely
Look in the mirror What is it you see? Hazel eyes above your Favorite black dress Looks clean and fresh
I love to hear poetry read Rather than performed I love to hear each word Appreciated Rather than memorized
My parents always say We’re proud of you I am too I got out of bed I used to get so much done
No pido disculpas Por escribir Lo que siento Lo que llevo adentro Lo que vivo
Some I like to share Fresh out of the oven Don’t let it get cold That’s why I wrote it Emotions in that moment
