Failure
Mikeniecesha Hicks 1983 (San Francisco)
I feel like a failure.
I can't take care of myself.
I can't take care of home.
Why am I even here.
I feel like a failure.
Body hurting everyday.
Body feeling weak.
Yet, I pretend to be okay.
I feel like a failure.
Constantly getting food poison.
Constantly falling.
My body is giving up.
I feel like a failure.
