Pieces in the batter

I guess I should thank you

For telling me that

My weight is no longer a problem

I really do appreciate you

Especially when you told me

That my hair doesn't look as bad as it usually does

 

People tell me that I need to be the bigger person

I'd rather lift a brick and throw it

I'm starting -to lose focus

But they always remind me

I was never as good

You did your hair, all by yourself, good job!

I really admire your condensation and

 

So I guess I should thank you

I never did anything perfect

I never got straight As

Or wrote books when I was three

I wasn’t a beauty queen or child prodigy

Coloring inside of the lines was too hard

So instead I gave up and wrote poems

Difficult for you to judge

They were pretty good to me

Your combining of  insults with compliments

like cake with eggshells

It taste like

warm water on a hot day

 

You’re cute for a dark skinned girl

Excuse me but What does that even mean

 

I want to tell you you shouldn’t even try

I love chocolate but combining it with mushrooms is just wrong

You should be ashamed, you act like you understand me

No one has eaten eggshell pieces with cake

The best appetizer I’ve ever had  

wear make up

Tweeze

Flat iron

Wax

Manicure

Pedicure

Thanks for your advice

Next time I’ll look better

I was taught only looks matter

Cause nothing is deeper

Than brown eyes covered with envy like cataracts

My vision was blurred by what I heard

 

I used to reach for clouds

You taught me that reaching for trees was easier

 

I used to want to fly

Apparently I’m no eagle

I used to want to dream

You turned my aspirations into the causers of

Sweaty palms, tensed muscles

Buried faces

You taught me that all dreams ain’t supposed to come true

I wanna tell you that you don’t matter

I want to pretend I don’t taste broken eggshell pieces in your every sentence

Am I supposed to say THANK YOU

 

You're the reason I'm writing poems

You're the reason I even want to get published

You're the reason I'm going to succeed

Cause I haven't forgotten sitting alone in my room

And I haven't forgotten that my hair looked better

Than yesterday

I haven't forgotten what cake with egg shells taste like
