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 cannot apologize For writing what I feel inside If it is hard to read It is harder to live I will understand

I had it all In my head And then I said Words I do not know which ones

The pine trees Reach up On both sides Of the road Telling me

My sister’s cookies Chocolate chip Got my nephew to Say her name For the first time

I love to hear poetry read Rather than performed I love to hear each word Appreciated Rather than memorized

Rough day Rough night If I could live In my bath Water would never

The medication is not me But neither is the sickness it tre… You may hear its effects In my voice In my opinions

If I could draw a tree In all it’s complexity Would you be impressed? If I could draw a human face It would be but a trace

He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere

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