(2014)
Hillary’s beautiful Rose Bumpy’s favorite princess My mini-me, my little lion Cute button nose Framed by red hair
When I think of my mom I think of malt o meal muffins When I think of my dad Memories of a child Chasing us around the circle
My sister’s cookies Chocolate chip Got my nephew to Say her name For the first time
Her fingernails Natural Long Pointed On fingers
Destruction is fun But cannot be undone Smashed Trashed Crumpled
If I was in a beauty pageant My talent would be 'Lefty who writes upside-down’ Beside the contestant Who burps her ABC’s
No pido disculpas Por escribir Lo que siento Lo que llevo adentro Lo que vivo
Dime ¿Qué es su lengua materna? Ni inglés Ni español Sus padres no hablan inglés
The ugliest shade Of green We envy The car The job
The pine trees Reach up On both sides Of the road Telling me
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
I cannot apologize For writing what I feel inside If it is hard to read It is harder to live I will understand
My pump Constant companion Of my disease My sensor Resembles a feeding
Itchy It has to come off Nerves Makes me pick His look
A joke Lost in Translation You will Never
