a happy Dreg.
The man in my stomach Is an angry man No matter what I do I can not please him. So he punishes me, Tightening his grip on the rope The rope that controls the trap doors Separating my esophagus and my stomach When he pulls The doors shut And I cannot eat Swords in the stomach Slicing through intestines Pain in my gut I think he’s mad at me Trying to understand I need to find out Because maybe Just maybe He’ll let go of the rope And the doors will open with ease But until then, his anger festers

The Man in My Stomach
Elevator eyes Scanning the golden body disregarding the operator inside Trying to find the right button to push, hoping they’ll be the one to get the ride Seventeen, but actually thirty. Not ******** but in jail. Butterfly Still at the mercy of time In this **** caterpillar body Though I am young Short Blue-eyed and blonde, I am not a fool Go ahead and help yourself to that empty seat at my table Ask me questions about work, school, or life as if you care Try to make me blush at your ****** insinuations But you won’t. You became insignificant the moment you sat down I know what you’re thinking I know your tactics I know what’s going on inside your head What you want. I am not a fool, Elevator eyes.

Elevator Eyes
I have a job Car A family Bike A few good friends Boyfriend *** Coffee I’m happy Technically happy But when **** hits the fan It hits Pretty ****** hard Job depletes me of energy Tired Car Empty Family Hard to please Bike Can only take me so far Friends What do they do Boyfriend He’s there *** All out Coffee Could be hotter These things are supposed to be a distraction from the **** But they’re still Not enough Because here I am Drinking my third cup of tea Hungry At the shop Alone Not happy ****
