(2014)
Who am I? I am me When did I Become me? As I recall
You might know her As blonde eyes Or as the sister who bakes cookies But you see I don’t write this
How do you describe A man so dramatic? You can recognize him From afar with his hat Always the gentleman
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
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
Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go
Escogí las palabras Más adecuadas Por lo que yo Quería decir Abrí la boca
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
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
Have you ever felt A hole inside of you Something dead inside Where your heart Is supposed to be?
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
Don’t talk down to me I am not a child! Even children Deserve respect
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
Manos fuertes No me sueltan De la cama Yo les digo Me tengo que ir
Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly
