Pieces in the batter
I guess I should thank you
For telling me that
My weight is no longer a problem
I really do appreciate you
Especially when you told me
That my hair doesn't look as bad as it usually does
People tell me that I need to be the bigger person
I'd rather lift a brick and throw it
I'm starting -to lose focus
But they always remind me
I was never as good
You did your hair, all by yourself, good job!
I really admire your condensation and
So I guess I should thank you
I never did anything perfect
I never got straight As
Or wrote books when I was three
I wasn’t a beauty queen or child prodigy
Coloring inside of the lines was too hard
So instead I gave up and wrote poems
Difficult for you to judge
They were pretty good to me
Your combining of insults with compliments
like cake with eggshells
It taste like
warm water on a hot day
You’re cute for a dark skinned girl
Excuse me but What does that even mean
I want to tell you you shouldn’t even try
I love chocolate but combining it with mushrooms is just wrong
You should be ashamed, you act like you understand me
No one has eaten eggshell pieces with cake
The best appetizer I’ve ever had
wear make up
Tweeze
Flat iron
Wax
Manicure
Pedicure
Thanks for your advice
Next time I’ll look better
I was taught only looks matter
Cause nothing is deeper
Than brown eyes covered with envy like cataracts
My vision was blurred by what I heard
I used to reach for clouds
You taught me that reaching for trees was easier
I used to want to fly
Apparently I’m no eagle
I used to want to dream
You turned my aspirations into the causers of
Sweaty palms, tensed muscles
Buried faces
You taught me that all dreams ain’t supposed to come true
I wanna tell you that you don’t matter
I want to pretend I don’t taste broken eggshell pieces in your every sentence
Am I supposed to say THANK YOU
You're the reason I'm writing poems
You're the reason I even want to get published
You're the reason I'm going to succeed
Cause I haven't forgotten sitting alone in my room
And I haven't forgotten that my hair looked better
Than yesterday
I haven't forgotten what cake with egg shells taste like
