(2014)
I’ve known Deep inside All along My value That I matter
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
The medication is not me But neither is the sickness it tre… You may hear its effects In my voice In my opinions
Escogí las palabras Más adecuadas Por lo que yo Quería decir Abrí la boca
A fresh faced country girl Who pioneers on her bicycle Catches the eye Of a transplant from Houston Love begins through letters
I am stronger Than you think I am I am weaker Than I look
When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery
Hospitality To love a stranger It need not be much For one who has little Will appreciate it
The pine trees Reach up On both sides Of the road Telling me
No hay nada más sincero Que un regalo Inesperado Una carta Un chocolate
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
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
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
The ugliest shade Of green We envy The car The job
Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
