these poems are the only thing keeping me alive
i write from keeping from crying
from thinking about all the calories i had today
whether i has enough water or to much soda.
these poems are the only thing getting me out of bed
i can only write sitting at a table.
these making me get out of bed to just write a poem
these poems are the only way i can count the days
i can't count them by the times i slept because i take
multiple naps a day
i count the days as how many poems do i not have published
so the days when i decided the published the poem
Those days don’t matter
