Just a Number
June 8, 2017
If only I could display
encouraging words.
If only I could display
compliments.
If only I could display...
well, knock knock jokes maybe.
but no.
Instead I display a number.
A number that is just a body's relative mass giving rise to a downward force.
Still, a number that can change
a mood.
an expression.
a lifestyle.
self worth.
I hate the looks I get.
I do not understand.
Why am I so important?
Who am I to change a person?
I just display a number.
No hurtful words.
No knock knock jokes.
Just a number.
