Food in the belly
Roof overhead
Someone to love
Someone who loves back
Meaningful work
Good health
Funds for fun
Joyful heart
Laughter
Grateful
Grateful
Grateful.
poem- self-fulfilling prophecies October 26, 2013
At four hundred pounds
she filled every room
I am beautiful!
I am amazing!
I am entertaining!
I will help you succeed!
They didn’t question
her self-control
her ugly words
her petty cruelties
her avarice
They accepted every word
and made it true.
