Today seems like a good day, she thought,
to post a written affirmation
in the third person
of how she saw herself
Words borrowed from someone else and
filtered
through a hazy layer of optimism
angled just so
to avoid showing the piles of
shit
in the background
and viewed through a
funhouse mirror
Nails in her feet cropped out and blurred
with tilt shift
just to be safe
She is
an all-powerful
homage
to herself, a poorly-lit
selfie
captured in words
and garbage
Such a beautiful sunrise
frames her silhouette
And she will rise,
regurgitating self
another day.
*For fuck’s sake, please don’t take this seriously.
