Questions I’ve been trying to voice, directed at doctors or others
My older brother claims I’ve a large forehead,
any thoughts?
How would I look with purple dye, would it damage this woolly hair?
What’s the fuss over tofu anyway? It’s not even that good
How do corpses feel in their narrow grave?
Are they yelling at our stupidity and sending us signals?
How many more generations does trauma from slavery affect?
How anorexic was I if my BMI never went below 19?
Why was I molested?
... Sorry didn’t mean to get that deep
Are smoothies still healthy if I add sugar to them?
How much do my muscles weigh? Knowing might help improve my body image
What does it mean when animals laugh or smile, why do we assume it is to express contentment?
Why does my mind a like feel wreckage, puzzle like a jigsaw?
Does it count as self-love if I only loved this body
before it had all these scars,
or if I only love select parts of me?
If I act alive during the day does that mean I’m living?
Why was I molested?
How long can an empty stomach keep anyone alive?
Why did I have to be insomniac?
Can I get a pass to heaven now? I would like to rest
I want to be a Molotov cocktail and drowned in the sea. Who could concoct me explosive?
Why was I sexually assaulted?
I was saying something about my forehead earlier on…
does it read “pray”?

This was funny in a sardonic, scathing sort of way, Mai B.
There is also a lot of pain evident here as well.
But, hey, if we can't laugh at ourselves and poke a bit of fun while pointing a gnarled finger back in our own frowning faces, we may never find anything funny again.
Sometimes you gotta read between the lines to get the complete picture in full focus.
Excellent write...
