(2015)
Who am I? I am me When did I Become me? As I recall
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
Have you ever felt A hole inside of you Something dead inside Where your heart Is supposed to be?
Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field
If you find someone That can do it Better than you Get them on your team
I’ve known Deep inside All along My value That I matter
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
Why can’t I choose to be somewhere in the middle? Surrounded by extremes Measure everything With a grain of salt
I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface
Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go
Manos fuertes No me sueltan De la cama Yo les digo Me tengo que ir
Algunos me gusta compartir Calientitos Justo cuando salgan del horno Que no se enfríe Por eso lo escribí
Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly
To be genius means To not follow the rules You don’t have to I wish to be smart But not self-important
Hospitality To love a stranger It need not be much For one who has little Will appreciate it
