    I love it when you call me

     by my name.

    When you label me.

     

    Like a doll sitting in 

    the display. 

    Read out my description.

     

    Learn my characteristics.

  • Slack line

    I walk a fine line.

    Life and death.

    Funny and weird.

    Smart and dumb. 

    Waiting for a light breeze to blow me one way.

    Will I stay on this line forever?

    When will I get off?

  • Cookie Cutter Girl

    I’ve always been a cookie cutter girl.

    pressed into shapes I never liked.

     

    Rolled and folded into the perfect form.

    My face and body configured

    to make me look appetizing.

  • She Was Me

    I had a funeral yesterday.

    A quick goodbye to

    the person closest to me.

    I can’t quite recall when she died.

    It has been so long

    since she was alive.

    Why have I held on to

    her lifeless body?

  • the jester

    the jester wore a mask
    bright reds blues and yellow
    to remind those who were sad
    of happiness and delight
    he never stopped laughing
    afraid if he did there would be no jester anymore
    the jester and the princess

  • Maria

    Her name was Maria 

    My mom's friend Maria 

    La mariposa she says 

    Soy la mariposa 


     

    Because she spread her wings 

    To the land of kings

    By Calico Frost

    Sick

    I'm sick

    nothing to do about it

    let me go home

    it can't be the end of the world if I'm not there for an afternoon, can it?

    everyone else would get whatever the heck I have

    you don't want this

    By the rat

    Be glad that I am still here

    you should love my prescence

    why wouldn't you?

     

    I protect your back

    that is, when you're looking
