(2015)
Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go
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 joke Lost in Translation You will Never
Escogí las palabras Más adecuadas Por lo que yo Quería decir Abrí la boca
Que te cuentan un chiste Las palabras se traducen Pero el humor no se puede Por si no lo entiendes Ríete
Scratchy plaid blanket Red with yellow stripes Hot and itchy underneath Claustrophobia strikes Purple and blue prisms
I know it’s for the best But it still hurts Hearing mothers complain For what I would give anything fo… My husband says no
Tomorrow Has not yet come It’s promises yet to be broken Tomorrow Is bigger
The pine trees Reach up On both sides Of the road Telling me
How do I Catch your interest? Once again I know You are bored with me
The whole world Aches and groans Do you feel her pain? The human in me Wants to heal mankind
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 love to hear poetry read Rather than performed I love to hear each word Appreciated Rather than memorized
No pido disculpas Por escribir Lo que siento Lo que llevo adentro Lo que vivo
Desperate for his attention Knowing it will drive him away Jealous of a game - how lame Choking self-esteem where I lay Desperate for his affection
