(2015)
My objective is selfish Not to share or be heard To get it out and move on No one seems to hear my pain No one seems to feel my pain
When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery
How do I Catch your interest? Once again I know You are bored with me
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
Restless As I lay in bed Trying to fall asleep These are my clues I might be low
I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface
A conversation With a true friend Leaves your life richer Maybe with a laugh A smile on your face
Uh-Oh! Cranky mood Throws a fit Over cereal Cheerios
I know it’s for the best But it still hurts Hearing mothers complain For what I would give anything fo… My husband says no
Scratchy plaid blanket Red with yellow stripes Hot and itchy underneath Claustrophobia strikes Purple and blue prisms
Are you ever tired Of just being you? Did you ever Want to be Someone new?
Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack
Hospitality To love a stranger It need not be much For one who has little Will appreciate it
Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump
My soft spot My sweet boy I’d do anything for Who convinced me Little boys are the best
