Slouch

almost died of scurvy
had psoriasis ever since
safeguarding my mind
step mother made the worst meals
i blamed her but now my taste buds 
have changed and i realise
worked my mind
she really could cook
found my soul
devil's massage
got sick and began eating veggies
another sleight of hand 
of the spine to live with
and took vitamins
lost to myself
and an exercise routine to see if i could beat it
lazy bones
