(2014)
Who am I? I am me When did I Become me? As I recall
Does the world need Another book? Another poem? I add one more to the pile To be left alone
The pine trees Reach up On both sides Of the road Telling me
Inspirational quotes Are full of crap Whatever meaning Is lost In the sea
I had it all In my head And then I said Words I do not know which ones
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
I am sorry That I cannot be happier I know that I’d be prettier If I smiled If I could smile
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
By nature high-strung But I thought I was strong If not physically, emotionally For things to roll off my back Be mature and take the high road
¿Te fue mal el día? Me va mal también a mi Dos vidas entretejidas Irrevocablemente Te cargo a ti encima
She is no longer Part of my life I’ve moved on My life is full With friends
My pump Constant companion Of my disease My sensor Resembles a feeding
Manos fuertes No me sueltan De la cama Yo les digo Me tengo que ir
Look in the mirror What is it you see? Hazel eyes above your Favorite black dress Looks clean and fresh
A conversation With a true friend Leaves your life richer Maybe with a laugh A smile on your face
