(2014)
I told everyone About you The ugly beast Inside of me You can’t hide
Look in the mirror What is it you see? Hazel eyes above your Favorite black dress Looks clean and fresh
¿Te fue mal el día? Me va mal también a mi Dos vidas entretejidas Irrevocablemente Te cargo a ti encima
A family trait Massage Is our vice No shame Take what
I spend all my time Fighting with you In my head If we fought At least it would be
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
I am sorry That I cannot be happier I know that I’d be prettier If I smiled If I could smile
I am a consumer Female Twenties I buy Cheap clothes and lattes
It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
I’ve known Deep inside All along My value That I matter
¿Te duele Cuándo piques tu dedo? No Lo hago por pura diversión Lo que duele
Nothing makes people flee Like reading them poetry They value it in theory But please don’t make them read Surprise me with your verse
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
I find richness In the mixture In what others disdain Young people lost Between two cultures
