Upside down is my right side up
With too-thin skin, splayed legs
and lips ****** of substance,
I lie quietly on rumpled sheets.
a word some say that I've said too much:
s-o-r-r-y sorry sorry sorry
It loses sincerity when uttered often,
but I am sorry, I haven't said it enough.
is my chagrin charming?
is my self-deprecation darling?
(no response)
I'm told (insert compliment).
I believe it, I have heard.
I both love and loathe myself.
************ and flagellation,
brought on by the same hand
penance, paid; insatiable, still
Just sit, ******
and watch a martyr at work.
