(2014)
When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery
Love is sincere Sincerely Wanting to connect Love makes you crazy Insanity that makes you fly
The teenage rebels All fall in line Be they hippies Goths, rockers or skaters Moving from one mould
I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface
Mis manchas de Bambi Manchas blancas Cubren mi cuerpo La gente se queda mirando Pero no les da asco
To be genius means To not follow the rules You don’t have to I wish to be smart But not self-important
Springtime means Berry pickin’ In warm sun Therapeutic Part of me
Her fingernails Natural Long Pointed On fingers
Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump
Yo te amo Tres palabras Que solucionen todo Para la mujer Tan complicada
Good secret Bubbles inside Let me out Bad secret Indigestion
Manos fuertes No me sueltan De la cama Yo les digo Me tengo que ir
It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper
No pido disculpas Por escribir Lo que siento Lo que llevo adentro Lo que vivo
The passive-aggressive Guilt trip Is a weak tool For your purpose The sensitive
