(2014)
An idea In my head Falls flat On paper Read it
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
Your enthusiasm exhausts me This coke is flat The bubbles disperse Leaving a sticky and sweet Aftertaste
How do I Catch your interest? Once again I know You are bored with me
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
Uh-Oh! Cranky mood Throws a fit Over cereal Cheerios
Itus and Itis Crashed my party I didn’t invite them! I whisper to my sister They make my skin crawl
Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
My pump Constant companion Of my disease My sensor Resembles a feeding
Life is good A little luxury A cup of coffee Served with toast Consumed lazily
Why do we love sunsets? Distinguishing fascination What other species Must stop and stare A romantic couple
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?
Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack
