Baton Pass

I came into this world
Crying
Felt hunger and discomfort
Fell sick, too often
Went to school and worried about having friends
Occasionally got bullied
Frequently felt embarrassed
Feared my marks weren’t high enough
Fought with failure
Worked hard every day
For a roof over my head
For food to eat
Found a man to care for
Nurtured a pregnancy we wanted
Then when my child 
Came into this world
She cried.

And Around We Go

Child argues with Parent
Parent cries
Child's Child argues with Child
Child cries
It's a perfect circle

Silence

While looking to enjoy silence
I wondered what happened
To the other sock I never found
Enjoyed the fragrance of dying flowers
Saw the back of my eyelids
Heard the sound
Of the ice cream van
And fantasized eating a rainbow
All in five minutes
The mind breaks silence

How To Enjoy Your Food

While angry,
Tasted nothing,
While crying,
Tasted nothing,
While worried,
Tasted nothing,
While eating,
Tasted food.
