Swallow entirety into the pink dimension
Swirls of space frosting,
Inside out bubbles and
Exposed self esteem
Sparkle scars
Pain is dripping dark chocolate down a finger
Every bite a dance move
Disco smiles erase majestic tears
Hot under all the perfect pressure
Boils pop and encounter realness
Stumble turned into a tutu sashay
Apple twirl with bluebell braids
Glitter coming out of armpits
Pineapple Jell-O shots for breath
Sing along with your own flying broom

It Gets Better

Always picked last for PE
Not really wanted but they were obliged
No name called just a slumped walk over to the team that had bad luck, got stuck
10 years old wearing a bra and dark pink glasses
Everything thick before it was a fad
Layers of pain upon pain
Disappointed, shy, not good enough
hidden shame with every bite, swallow and taste

Decades later
5ks, 10ks, 100 miles walked in these boots
Climbed volcanos, waterfalls and glaciers
The 30& 40 something year old me looks inside,
We did it all chubby girl
High five!
You’ve always been a beautiful badass,
You just don’t know it, but I do

We don’t hear those vicious whispers anymore, we told them to f**k off and when that didn’t work we blew them endless kisses

We can do anything, we do and
we will continue to do
We got this this thing called life and we’re living it

Color of Sense

Smells purple out today
While the turquoise sky flirts with me
Her fluffy cream colored clouds winking back and forth covering the sun
I’m feeling quite orange today
It’s fantastic!
Free, warm, no cares in the world
Tasting the pinkness of life
It swishes back and forth against my teeth
I turn around hearing green all around
So pleasant and welcoming
Enjoying the day, just as she is

Moonlight chipped my candy apple red polish
I love the imperfections of being human
A bad haircut, a stubbed toe,
ugh, so irritating but also
So human
I wouldn’t change a thing about my flesh case
She sure does a fantastic job of hauling me around on all these adventures my soul craves
5’4, curvy build and big brown eyes
I guess I can be described that way
But I’m beyond that
All of us humans are
Our souls pick this time and place and I’m determined to make the most out of this
Life
I can’t wait!
