(2015)
Props to my Dad on this one. Drink water everybody!
Itchy It has to come off Nerves Makes me pick His look
The ugliest shade Of green We envy The car The job
I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface
Desperate for his attention Knowing it will drive him away Jealous of a game - how lame Choking self-esteem where I lay Desperate for his affection
If you find someone That can do it Better than you Get them on your team
My soft spot My sweet boy I’d do anything for Who convinced me Little boys are the best
How do I Catch your interest? Once again I know You are bored with me
I would never choose To eat a granola bar Or peanut butter crackers Though I eat them All of the time
He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere
How do you describe A man so dramatic? You can recognize him From afar with his hat Always the gentleman
Does the world need Another book? Another poem? I add one more to the pile To be left alone
The pine trees Reach up On both sides Of the road Telling me
I feel like crap Most days I have a lot going my way I am loved I can smile
I’ve known Deep inside All along My value That I matter
My heart breaks A little each day For problems I can’t solve For things I can’t change All I can do is pray
