please
what am I to do when I
*want
a salad
but so many
friends and family
want
me to eat a pepperoni roll
and while it's not the healthiest decision for me,
I feel as if the people around me,
won't love me if I don't eat the pepperoni roll
then of course, what is best for me doesn't matter anymore
because even though the salad and its family of veggies
loves me, I
need to feel loved
*even if it is fake by everyone
and by choosing salad I feel guilty
and worst of all unloved..

now these cuts aren't on the wrist
but on the ankles, feet, and heart
i wish that we had a softer dancing place
but when you love someone so much
you're willing to get cut and hurt
to dance on thorns in order to be there, with them
and even though it's painful, love is what we live
and honey let me tell you just how much love I can give.
