(2014)
Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field
I spend all my time Fighting with you In my head If we fought At least it would be
Destruction is fun But cannot be undone Smashed Trashed Crumpled
I would never choose To eat a granola bar Or peanut butter crackers Though I eat them All of the time
An idea In my head Falls flat On paper Read it
The human heart ...leaps and jumps ...races and sings ...sighs and groans The treacherous heart can
The ugliest shade Of green We envy The car The job
If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile
If I could draw a tree In all it’s complexity Would you be impressed? If I could draw a human face It would be but a trace
I am a consumer Female Twenties I buy Cheap clothes and lattes
Why can’t I choose to be somewhere in the middle? Surrounded by extremes Measure everything With a grain of salt
Her fingernails Natural Long Pointed On fingers
I do not enjoy roller coasters I am not chicken But they say You just have to try it! So I do
The pressure inside Is building It comes out through my eyes I stop up the tears It comes out through my nose
Good secret Bubbles inside Let me out Bad secret Indigestion
