(2015)
Didn’t they know that people cared? That they were loved? Why didn’t someone tell them?
Desperate for his attention Knowing it will drive him away Jealous of a game - how lame Choking self-esteem where I lay Desperate for his affection
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
Are you ever tired Of just being you? Did you ever Want to be Someone new?
Your pain is far away I hear it But I do not feel it Move closer Let me know you’re here to stay
I am a consumer Female Twenties I buy Cheap clothes and lattes
Down to earth I am but of dust Dust particles I see floating in the air Carbon molecules
Algunos me gusta compartir Calientitos Justo cuando salgan del horno Que no se enfríe Por eso lo escribí
My soft spot My sweet boy I’d do anything for Who convinced me Little boys are the best
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
Scratchy plaid blanket Red with yellow stripes Hot and itchy underneath Claustrophobia strikes Purple and blue prisms
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
Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly
My pump Constant companion Of my disease My sensor Resembles a feeding
She is no longer Part of my life I’ve moved on My life is full With friends
