A portrait
(2014)
Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
I spend all my time Fighting with you In my head If we fought At least it would be
Que te cuentan un chiste Las palabras se traducen Pero el humor no se puede Por si no lo entiendes Ríete
An idea In my head Falls flat On paper Read it
What if one day I wasn’t there for you? And you were left needing me If I wasn’t there When you woke up
Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know
No es solo la tristeza Aunque si lo estoy No es por el desanimo Aunque si me desanimo No es tan sencillo
Scratchy plaid blanket Red with yellow stripes Hot and itchy underneath Claustrophobia strikes Purple and blue prisms
Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field
My heart breaks A little each day For problems I can’t solve For things I can’t change All I can do is pray
Down to earth I am but of dust Dust particles I see floating in the air Carbon molecules
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
Hillary’s beautiful Rose Bumpy’s favorite princess My mini-me, my little lion Cute button nose Framed by red hair
My parents always say We’re proud of you I am too I got out of bed I used to get so much done
How can I write how I feel When what I feel is nothing? How can I tell you what I need, What is wrong? When what is wrong
