Sticky Pink Smiles

Most people chew you like bubblegum and spit you out

I chew until my jaw gives out

Then I swallow, just to have it in my system

Like an ache, I’m reminded constantly—

and I repeat the cycle

Find someone just like you

to put in my mouth and chew

until it leaves my tongue stained pink

even after brushing my teeth

I can still feel it in the pit of my stomach

processing like the emotions in my

Pink Brain

I lick my lips at the thought

bite my tongue—

I don’t like spitting out something so funbecause most people chew me like bubblegum
