(2015)
I had it all In my head And then I said Words I do not know which ones
Restless As I lay in bed Trying to fall asleep These are my clues I might be low
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
The strings that attach me To this world Ground me Yes they sometimes Keep me from flying
I am a consumer Female Twenties I buy Cheap clothes and lattes
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
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music
The pressure inside Is building It comes out through my eyes I stop up the tears It comes out through my nose
Itus and Itis Crashed my party I didn’t invite them! I whisper to my sister They make my skin crawl
An idea In my head Falls flat On paper Read it
Pragmatic me Doesn’t like this girl You can’t depend on her Too complex to understand She cries at the worst times
A healthy pancreas Is like a transmission Seamlessly shifting gears In type 2 diabetics Wear and tear
Does it hurt? When you prick your finger No I do this just for fun Our fingers lose feeling
Yo te amo Tres palabras Que solucionen todo Para la mujer Tan complicada
