Rolls November 9th 2012

Rolls of underappreciated, 
despised, 
untrusted, 
unwanted globs of wasted space lies beneath

Rolls of ugliness,
sadness,
deceit, 
tragedy,
nostalgic fluff swimming underneath these

Rolls of hate,
weakness,
abandonment,
scrutiny,
dignity left to die under all these
Rolls.

More to love, more to hate
Even more to underappreciate
Lie to my face, kick my backside
Take from me until I can’t hide
