Stepping in the same mud I ate

Made me feel

Not think

I wasn’t deserving of what

The other 95 percent of me

Lived as

The covers just aren’t fitting right

The feet I wished I had will never measure

To the flowery duvet I imagine when I lay

Squandering my life in somber, solid halls

Walls closing in when sky falls

Draped in black than blue

Bruises to my conscience

And consequence of being

More loved for what’s on the inside

Eat me

If you want

So I can mean something

Desperately I thought it would fulfill me

To be consumed and fill a human

But she picked me up and took me home

With an unusual

Comfort

To feel what embrace meant

Was Pennies born fortune from fountain

And when I found myself in her house

Around other animals

Cute dogs with wagging tails

I pailed in comparison

They were sweet but I was dessert

My stubby feet caked in mud

Desert the memo of pigging out

The pig was in!!

The pig was in a blanket

And being eaten by love

What joy it is to find out I grow spots

And a nice long tail

That coils in such a unique way

I hope

The human who took me in

Satisfied

The hunger in her heart

She satisfied in mine
