Born a blue baby

Struggling for breath
Flemmy even then
Used to wail to be fed
Mom'd serve me
Choke on my snot
Throw up what I ate
Mom cleaned me up
And I'm wailing again
Babies don't choose
Breath or hunger.

Fat, sick, poor, slut
Accepting my nonstandard body
Living within physical limitations
Finding joy in simplicity
Embracing my female power

Happy with who I am.
