A Simple Answer With No Words From the Matriarch

if i take off my self
and strip completely naked
and you see a person undefined
and misunderstood, would you
love me despite the fact that i am a
nobody
would you care about me despite the
fact that i am nonexistent in the fully
clothed eyes of most
would you acknowledge my visibility 
despite the fact that i am so obviously
invisible

you smile at me and give me a simple hug
and a plate of the best oatmeal cookies on 
the planet along with a cold glass of
flav-o-rich

CHOMP! CHOMP!
GURGLE! GURGLE! AHHHHHHH!
Simple Answer With No Words
no more questions needed to be asked
thank you, Grandma.....
