#ifitsmeanttobeitllbe
I bend over to tie my shoe & the ache in my back worsens
As blood rushes to my head & the headache as well
Which I don't realize
With the two painkillers taken for my cramps, meaning
I forget everything but my stomach & my hunger
So I'll stand back up & leave home to fill it
Walk with a limp & crouch
My arms will swing & my neck will crane
In anticipation for my meal, not of
Because I eat for the taste
Until a hunger past sated means my stomach's fullness
Is in remembrance of what previously filled it
I clutch my sides to forget my neck, & roll home
Where I'll forget my shoes
Still full of nothing but my faulty memory
In a rush to throw up why I left
& remember the same hunger I filled with 2 painkillers
& smile with my shoulders
& let my stomach hold up my head
