(2015)
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
I am stronger Than you think I am I am weaker Than I look
When I think of my mom I think of malt o meal muffins When I think of my dad Memories of a child Chasing us around the circle
My grandfather told my father when he proposed to my mother on one condition
I cannot apologize For writing what I feel inside If it is hard to read It is harder to live I will understand
Itus and Itis Crashed my party I didn’t invite them! I whisper to my sister They make my skin crawl
Uh-Oh! Cranky mood Throws a fit Over cereal Cheerios
I can feel it coming Decisions I can’t make Brain starts to freeze Fingers won’t work Sick of this disease
An idea In my head Falls flat On paper Read it
I would never choose To eat a granola bar Or peanut butter crackers Though I eat them All of the time
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
¿Te duele Cuándo piques tu dedo? No Lo hago por pura diversión Lo que duele
Ask any female Love Is in the details I love you Three greatest words
I find richness In the mixture In what others disdain Young people lost Between two cultures
To be genius means To not follow the rules You don’t have to I wish to be smart But not self-important
