(2015)
The ugliest shade Of green We envy The car The job
An idea In my head Falls flat On paper Read it
A healthy pancreas Is like a transmission Seamlessly shifting gears In type 2 diabetics Wear and tear
A joke Lost in Translation You will Never
Nothing makes people flee Like reading them poetry They value it in theory But please don’t make them read Surprise me with your verse
I told everyone About you The ugly beast Inside of me You can’t hide
Down to earth I am but of dust Dust particles I see floating in the air Carbon molecules
Manos fuertes No me sueltan De la cama Yo les digo Me tengo que ir
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
She is no longer Part of my life I’ve moved on My life is full With friends
Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go
My parents always say We’re proud of you I am too I got out of bed I used to get so much done
I am unique In so many ways But while variety excites What we look for Is our common thread
Clinical smells Polite strangers The only thing worse Than being here Is to not be able
What if one day I wasn’t there for you? And you were left needing me If I wasn’t there When you woke up
