Injection after injection

As I stare at my reflection

I wonder how I managed to take it this far

Stitch after stitch

Nip after nip

It’s as if I’ve put my body through a war

Wrapped in bandages

Trying to figure out how I’ll manage

I’m slightly feeling kind of goofy

But this is how bleeding leads to beauty...

“I’m ready. I can’t wait to see this movie with you, Jon” Alicia said enthusiastically.

“About that… I actually am going with my cousin” Jon said as he scratched his head. “But you said we’re going to the movies Friday, and here it is Friday.” Alicia stands across Jon, holding back tears as she knows this isn’t the first time her boyfriend has let her down.

Your small hands

Your small feet

Your big roar

Your characteristics are such a treat

Kids love you

Scientists adore you

I started off as a rookie

I used to play hooky

Many men want this cookie

I’d never go for that though

I’m so tired of this game

Everything is the same

Men are so lame

They always put on a good show

Lie after lie

Their constant “why? Why? WHY”

I’m always saying “bye”

Why can’t they ever accept “NO!”

They pick and pick

They make me so sick

They give most women an ick

Why can’t they just GO...

Life is like a sharp stick. Strong enough to fight with, yet easily breakable....

Nearly 3 decades ago, you first held me in your arms

Ever since then we could say we lived in a perfect storm

Raising and parenting me Im sure hasn't been easy

Somehow you've done your best and continue to have grace with me

I can't wait until I've managed to become old and blue

In this lifetime I would be anything for you...

Freezing cold

Cold as ever

I’m shivering, shiver me timbers

I thought you loved me

But you left me here

All alone, on a cold icy pier...
