If you want to know me

I cannot apologize
For writing what I feel inside
If it is hard to read
It is harder to live
I will understand
If you need to turn away
If it hurts to look
If you want to know me
I will be here
Even the ugly parts of me

(2014)

It's all in my head

An idea In my head Falls flat On paper Read it
Choking on emotion

When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery

Dinner at the Millers

Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
Chills & Thrills

I do not enjoy roller coasters I am not chicken But they say You just have to try it! So I do
Portrait of a Rose

Hillary’s beautiful Rose Bumpy’s favorite princess My mini-me, my little lion Cute button nose Framed by red hair
The artist among us

To be a true artist Must they be recluses Crazy mad or sick Or even better dead Show me a healthy artist
A child's memory

Scratchy plaid blanket Red with yellow stripes Hot and itchy underneath Claustrophobia strikes Purple and blue prisms
