another hit fills the veins
please, another smile
drawn across on this face
in thick crayon,
fill me with safety, and tell me
I’m okay -
look at me! look at us!
look how well I fit here,
see me in my best light
([✔️] touch up my appearance)
and hear my laughter
Ha ha hee ha!
See my ecstasy, and hit me!
tell me you’ll keep me!
I’ll pay for it
in labour & self-deprecation
do you accept that here?
