Cupcakes

"Cupcakes"- 1-5-14

You have to learn

to not listen to that voice at

three AM telling you how the

calories wont love you

and that empty feels more powerful

than giving into temptation-

because sometimes the cupcakes

have the answers

and sometimes the answer is in

getting out of your

too-empty-to-sleep-in bed

cracking eggs into flour and sugar

and turning up the music until

it drowns out the noise inside-

and it is always easier to sleep

after having created something and

with that warm sweetness filling

your belly for a change-

and sometime you will have to learn

that maybe the calories 

are a way to prove

you love yourself.

The flow of your voice is wonderful, Jessica...I love how you committed to the subject in it simplicity...yet it's not that simple to weave in words something that is complex in explaining emotions...and a late night snack won't hurt...it truly is loving yourself. :)
