(2014)
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
The more you treat me like a nag The more I become one I’m sorry if I micromanage Your clean clothes Your hot meals
Are you ever tired Of just being you? Did you ever Want to be Someone new?
To love reading Writing and words And not be able to Communicate Frustrated
Would I rather be A younger me? More productive Stronger Would i have to give up
My heart breaks A little each day For problems I can’t solve For things I can’t change All I can do is pray
My body is perfect —ly spotted The white spots I tell myself Are my Bambi spots
Ask any female Love Is in the details I love you Three greatest words
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
If you find someone That can do it Better than you Get them on your team
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds

I crave stability Neither wandering spirit Nor home-body Yes I’d love to travel But the foundation
Antisocial tendencies Amplified by sickness I can people watch Yet I can’t people talk I am lonely
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
