WARNING: An Attempt at Slam Poetry

A Poem by savesthedaynj

I hate

your ability to

squeeze into skinny

jeans while I confine

myself to stretch denim.

 

Have I become so

shallow that I envy

the crazy Manhattan

DJ in our midst

 

or is it more.

 

Have I really just wasted my

time worrying about the life

of a guy with bright colored

clothes when it’s clear mine needs

more attention.

 

Have I decided the destiny

of myself by the size

of my thighs and waste

my life thinking of

the what if?

 

No, that will not

be me. I will be

known for my

attention to detail and

the way my nose crinkles.

 

The numbers on our dresses

should be nothing more than

what they are. They do not

rate me as a person

a lover or a mother

 

Fuckers try to take me

down because I can’t

shimmy into single digits.

I’ll give them a single digit

to chew on while I

apologize for ever doubting

his threads.
