My golden retriever energy
A golden too scared to make demands
Unworthy
Tail wagging in warm
desperation
Beauty, but exhaustion
in her charms
Ears, saucer size
Honing in criticism
But, compliments shaken, like water,
right off
I wrap myself in a towel post - bath
and feel sorry for my lot
Lapping
Tongue out
Craving love and acceptance
Putting it all out there
With the wag
Trying to hide my disappointment
though, when I tell myself
Head down, bathed in despondency
But, people pleasing
Trying to over-compensate
When ( I haven’t ) been bad
tara star
