(2014)
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
If food is poetry The flavors The smells Singing in harmony Is poetry food?
The pressure inside Is building It comes out through my eyes I stop up the tears It comes out through my nose
¿Te fue mal el día? Me va mal también a mi Dos vidas entretejidas Irrevocablemente Te cargo a ti encima
Why can’t I choose to be somewhere in the middle? Surrounded by extremes Measure everything With a grain of salt
He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere
The pine trees Reach up On both sides Of the road Telling me
Restless As I lay in bed Trying to fall asleep These are my clues I might be low
Have you ever felt A hole inside of you Something dead inside Where your heart Is supposed to be?
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
Hospitality To love a stranger It need not be much For one who has little Will appreciate it
I will be Forever in debt To my mother Any gift Would come up short
May sun is warm An old friend You have missed June sun Still smiles
Pragmatic me Doesn’t like this girl You can’t depend on her Too complex to understand She cries at the worst times
I’ve known Deep inside All along My value That I matter
