Compliments

CLICK HERE TO HEAR AUTHOR READ


I trusted only my mother

to offer them:


Not the screen-shot

responses ordained


by my preferences

to make me feel good


about what I think

and feel.


I hate feeling suspicious

about feeling good,


hate wanting

to feel bad,


but these days

it’s the only answer.

Ditto on the 'ouch"!
