I am NOT in Denial

I

I bash myself in the kneecaps daily

with a shiny steel hammer

I am in love with one who does not love me back

and bones crack

and blood

and blood

and

and

II

I eat breadsticks every morning

on my way to be the ice cream man

and your words are my late night snack

I survive on it

thrive on it

III

my soul twists a little

when you talk to me about cute boys

and I bang it back into place

with a shiny steel hammer
