Sincerely, Ashley


Body I’m sorry

You are tired

You are sore

Body I’m sorry

You got fired

Because you can make three steps not four

Body I’m sorry

You are starving

You are craving

Body I’m sorry

Mother is trying

She’s having a hard time surviving

I don't mind sparing a meal

I’ll survive eating the apples peal

If the apple goes to mother

Body I’m sorry

I’m suppose to be caring be your lover

I’m skipping dinner and rationing lunch and breakfast

I know that you’re pissed

Body I’m sorry

Drinking gallons of water will not fill me

But it’s enough to satisfy me

Body I’m sorry

You’re far too weak

You bruise when you work out

Body I’m sorry

My tears will not leak

I'm stronger than to pout

Body I am sorry
