An Ode to My Pizza Face
This is an ode to my pizza face
An ode to the pimples that littered my face like pepperoni and grease like cheese
One more slice of salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide please!
An ode to some sardines, to add to this pizza face of mine
Let's match the fishy nature of those nasty comments said to me behind
Or a thick tomato sauce, to match the blood of a picked scab, fresh and ready for picture day
An ode to the parmesean on the side, sprinkled like my anxiety when walking through the hallways
Walking so fast, I'm eighteen, walking to classes on campus
An ode to my pizza face
Who exists no longer
An ode to my pizza face
Who made me stronger
