seis [they]
i never understood,
quite what you really meant,
when you would say,
ana is mean,
she is cruel,
and unforgiving.
and i never knew,
quite what it felt like,
to be mad,
at one’s self,
as you said,
ana is right - she always is.
especially when,
i take my dinner,
and eat it all,
but billy says,
as you said,
it’s okay.
you can always,
heave it up,
in the bathroom with,
the door locked.
but know i now,
what you meant,
when you said,
they are cruel,
but they are right.

dedicated to defend because she is boss. i'd read her freaking to-do lists and still be amazed.
