A portrait
(2014)
The E’s squeak by The I’s are too excited The U’s come after Q But the A’s and the O’s They flow
Why do we love sunsets? Distinguishing fascination What other species Must stop and stare A romantic couple
I spend all my time Fighting with you In my head If we fought At least it would be
The passive-aggressive Guilt trip Is a weak tool For your purpose The sensitive
A healthy pancreas Is like a transmission Seamlessly shifting gears In type 2 diabetics Wear and tear
If you find someone That can do it Better than you Get them on your team
Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
I am a consumer Female Twenties I buy Cheap clothes and lattes
I find richness In the mixture In what others disdain Young people lost Between two cultures
Who’s the best? Ask my Daddy He’ll tell you Enthusiastically He always sees
Springtime means Berry pickin’ In warm sun Therapeutic Part of me
This world is covered in bias It’s all over you It’s all over me too This world is covered in bias It shades our words
Would I rather be A younger me? More productive Stronger Would i have to give up
I am unique In so many ways But while variety excites What we look for Is our common thread
When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery
