(2015)
If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
Life is good A little luxury A cup of coffee Served with toast Consumed lazily
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
The passive-aggressive Guilt trip Is a weak tool For your purpose The sensitive
How do I Catch your interest? Once again I know You are bored with me
Scratchy plaid blanket Red with yellow stripes Hot and itchy underneath Claustrophobia strikes Purple and blue prisms
I don’t expect Diabetes education For the public But chances are You know one
How do you measure pain? All is relative and personal Even with one’s own self It is impossible to compare As memory distorts pain
My objective is selfish Not to share or be heard To get it out and move on No one seems to hear my pain No one seems to feel my pain
It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper
The teenage rebels All fall in line Be they hippies Goths, rockers or skaters Moving from one mould
My parents always say We’re proud of you I am too I got out of bed I used to get so much done
To be genius means To not follow the rules You don’t have to I wish to be smart But not self-important
I enjoy his company Riding shotgun Conversation No one to overhear Our inside jokes
