(2014)
The whole world Aches and groans Do you feel her pain? The human in me Wants to heal mankind
Your enthusiasm exhausts me This coke is flat The bubbles disperse Leaving a sticky and sweet Aftertaste
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
Tomorrow Has not yet come It’s promises yet to be broken Tomorrow Is bigger
Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know
A healthy pancreas Is like a transmission Seamlessly shifting gears In type 2 diabetics Wear and tear
How do I Catch your interest? Once again I know You are bored with me
A fresh faced country girl Who pioneers on her bicycle Catches the eye Of a transplant from Houston Love begins through letters
How can I write how I feel When what I feel is nothing? How can I tell you what I need, What is wrong? When what is wrong
I am a consumer Female Twenties I buy Cheap clothes and lattes
My sister’s cookies Chocolate chip Got my nephew to Say her name For the first time
To be genius means To not follow the rules You don’t have to I wish to be smart But not self-important
Filler words Put me to sleep Added to cushion Take away my pillow Blunt words to wake up
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
