Tomorrow

Tomorrow
Has not yet come
It’s promises yet to be broken
 
Tomorrow
Is bigger
Than yesterday
 
Tomorrow
Is safe
In it’s bubble
 
Tomorrow
Will
Get us through today

It's all in my head

An idea In my head Falls flat On paper Read it
Driving standard

A healthy pancreas Is like a transmission Seamlessly shifting gears In type 2 diabetics Wear and tear
Melting pot

I’m watching a woman in a bikini In great shape with a swollen bell… Play with her puppy named Gatsby A Hispanic family comes The little girl dips her feet in

Eve's curse

Desperate for his attention Knowing it will drive him away Jealous of a game - how lame Choking self-esteem where I lay Desperate for his affection
If I could paint a man

If I could paint a man Eyes so dark they shine Brooding and stormy Til the smile breaks through If I could paint a man

Floating above the surface

I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface

A girl who loves horses

A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers

Foreign Humor

A joke Lost in Translation You will Never

Tea kettle

The pressure inside Is building It comes out through my eyes I stop up the tears It comes out through my nose

Nothing

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

Truth is..

I feel like crap Most days I have a lot going my way I am loved I can smile
Stability

I crave stability Neither wandering spirit Nor home-body Yes I’d love to travel But the foundation
A~E~I~O~U

The E’s squeak by The I’s are too excited The U’s come after Q But the A’s and the O’s They flow
Is it ready?

Some I like to share Fresh out of the oven Don’t let it get cold That’s why I wrote it Emotions in that moment
I raise my eyes to the sky

The whole world Aches and groans Do you feel her pain? The human in me Wants to heal mankind
