Itus and Itis Crashed my party I didn’t invite them! I whisper to my sister They make my skin crawl
I will be Forever in debt To my mother Any gift Would come up short
The news hit me Like a punch in the gut I threw up two times From the pain Knowing that I
Rough day Rough night If I could live In my bath Water would never
Antisocial tendencies Amplified by sickness I can people watch Yet I can’t people talk I am lonely
Who am I? I am me When did I Become me? As I recall
I love to hear poetry read Rather than performed I love to hear each word Appreciated Rather than memorized
Does the world need Another book? Another poem? I add one more to the pile To be left alone
If I could paint a man Eyes so dark they shine Brooding and stormy Til the smile breaks through If I could paint a man
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
Que te cuentan un chiste Las palabras se traducen Pero el humor no se puede Por si no lo entiendes Ríete
Why can’t I choose to be somewhere in the middle? Surrounded by extremes Measure everything With a grain of salt
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
I am sorry That I cannot be happier I know that I’d be prettier If I smiled If I could smile
She is no longer Part of my life I’ve moved on My life is full With friends
