If I exist
...
My stomach hurts
My ears are ringing
I belt, in bursts
Obnoxious singing

My legs are paralyzed, and I have no memory.

The Endless Fight
...The Endless Fight
My sis and I, we made a vow,
to lose all of our weight somehow.

Weighting and Watching
...I had my blood drawn to find out.
If there were issues with some doubt.
My doctor said it's time to move.

The gambrel brought such sorrow
