Like a tattooed Golden Retriever (Taylor Swift)



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
