Not watching an R without all of the PG.
Not even checking the squares of democracy.
21 pounds
That's how big my tumor was.
Was is benign or malignant?
It was both.
So many needles.
So many nurses.
But they saved my life.
I will forever remember my doctor's name: Larry Puls.
I’m the quiet one
who talks
too quickly under the bright lights of a school
I’m the one on the sidelines
the only one watching
without better things to do
I miss my baby
I wonder if he is okay
all i hope is that maybe, just maybe
I will get to see him one day
It's been three years too long
I was just fifteen
giving you up was wrong
