(2015)
I have psoriasis, a genetic skin condition caused by an accelerated over-active immune system. The skin cells regenerate too fast and they pile up.
My body is perfect —ly spotted The white spots I tell myself Are my Bambi spots
A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music
Why can’t I choose to be somewhere in the middle? Surrounded by extremes Measure everything With a grain of salt
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
Antes lograba tanto Metía horas Sacando lo máximo De cada minuto No he cambiado
I am unique In so many ways But while variety excites What we look for Is our common thread
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
¿Te fue mal el día? Me va mal también a mi Dos vidas entretejidas Irrevocablemente Te cargo a ti encima
Your enthusiasm exhausts me This coke is flat The bubbles disperse Leaving a sticky and sweet Aftertaste
Most women are cooks But a man who cooks Is a chef She cooks over and over To feed the masses
You must commit To an outfit Where are you going? In sporty yoga pants Athletic top
Blonde eyes To match her hair Life is mean She counts her blessings Hopes for the best
Itchy It has to come off Nerves Makes me pick His look
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
My objective is selfish Not to share or be heard To get it out and move on No one seems to hear my pain No one seems to feel my pain
