Psoriasis
#Psoriasis
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
A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music
Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack
Antes lograba tanto Metía horas Sacando lo máximo De cada minuto No he cambiado
The E’s squeak by The I’s are too excited The U’s come after Q But the A’s and the O’s They flow
Good secret Bubbles inside Let me out Bad secret Indigestion
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
Your pain is far away I hear it But I do not feel it Move closer Let me know you’re here to stay
You might know her As blonde eyes Or as the sister who bakes cookies But you see I don’t write this
Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know
Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go
This world is covered in bias It’s all over you It’s all over me too This world is covered in bias It shades our words
I enjoy his company Riding shotgun Conversation No one to overhear Our inside jokes
Some I like to share Fresh out of the oven Don’t let it get cold That’s why I wrote it Emotions in that moment
To love reading Writing and words And not be able to Communicate Frustrated
