Psoriasis
Filler words Put me to sleep Added to cushion Take away my pillow Blunt words to wake up
I am sorry That I cannot be happier I know that I’d be prettier If I smiled If I could smile
Rough day Rough night If I could live In my bath Water would never
Your pain is far away I hear it But I do not feel it Move closer Let me know you’re here to stay
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
How do you measure pain? All is relative and personal Even with one’s own self It is impossible to compare As memory distorts pain
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
I crave stability Neither wandering spirit Nor home-body Yes I’d love to travel But the foundation
Que te cuentan un chiste Las palabras se traducen Pero el humor no se puede Por si no lo entiendes Ríete
I need to tell you How to survive With our disposition It’s okay to cry Maybe
I would never choose To eat a granola bar Or peanut butter crackers Though I eat them All of the time
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
I do not enjoy roller coasters I am not chicken But they say You just have to try it! So I do
Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump
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
