i feel particularly small
which isn't unusual, i guess
when quiet, belittling thoughts
always leave you second bestbut in this early dawn
these hours i sit alone
i see so clear the sins
for which i must atoneplease excuse my body
please ignore my thighs
never mind the dark circles
rimming 'neath my eyesdon't you ever dare say
you love me; it's not real
shut your eyes and go to bed
take pride in dreams you stealsee, i'm not good at speaking
nor can i comfort friends
but i'll put you back together
if you tie up my loose endsso i'll stay in my small-ness
for it's what i do best
they call me miss lowercase
and that's all there is, i guess
