"We accept the love we think we deserve" - Stephen Chbosky (The Perks of Being a Wallflower)


Tell me what is on your mind,
For you are more than I’ll ever be.

I am found in your drawer of junk,
Cast into tip jars and murky man-made waters,
Spun, flipped and elongated-
So you can dress me up.

I am shaken out of a pig’s belly.
I suffocate beneath a sofa’s weight.
I swim, persevering until I sink,
Scratching mega-millions so you can dream.

Tired,
Rained upon,
Residing in its puddles,
As my bronze complexion loses luster.

Keep me in your pocket,
For I am more than just a head and tail.
