Mis manchas de Bambi Manchas blancas Cubren mi cuerpo La gente se queda mirando Pero no les da asco
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music
Her fingernails Natural Long Pointed On fingers
I don’t expect Diabetes education For the public But chances are You know one
Algunos me gusta compartir Calientitos Justo cuando salgan del horno Que no se enfríe Por eso lo escribí
Don’t talk down to me I am not a child! Even children Deserve respect
Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
Beautiful legs The right shape and curve Olive color without the green That tans and doesn’t burn Until you see
Yo te amo Tres palabras Que solucionen todo Para la mujer Tan complicada
Nothing makes people flee Like reading them poetry They value it in theory But please don’t make them read Surprise me with your verse
It’s not pretty When I cry People get almost as embarrassed as I
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
Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump
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
