Salted Pity

I can sit and sip

Devour this salt infused pity

Filling oceans for the thirsty

Flooding carpet basements for the rich

Those hidden desires

Boxed emotions

Liquid Freedom

Dreams of

Holding little girls by the hand

Pigtails for smiles

Overalls and laughter

Beauties of America

Drink greedily every last bead

Begging for just one last smile

To hold myself

Smile for myself

Breathe myself

Love myself

Liquid paper to erase

My salt infused pity
