(2015)
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
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
The human heart ...leaps and jumps ...races and sings ...sighs and groans The treacherous heart can
Dime ¿Qué es su lengua materna? Ni inglés Ni español Sus padres no hablan inglés
I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface
I can feel it coming Decisions I can’t make Brain starts to freeze Fingers won’t work Sick of this disease
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly
Your pain is far away I hear it But I do not feel it Move closer Let me know you’re here to stay
Uh-Oh! Cranky mood Throws a fit Over cereal Cheerios
When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery
Didn’t they know that people cared? That they were loved? Why didn’t someone tell them?
How can I write how I feel When what I feel is nothing? How can I tell you what I need, What is wrong? When what is wrong
Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go
Love is sincere Sincerely Wanting to connect Love makes you crazy Insanity that makes you fly
