what the stimmy bought me Elizia Artis

what the stimmy bought me: Medical bills (paid down, not off) A heartbeat - a pulse - I obsessively track An eco-friendly couch dusty crusty eyes Four new tires researching what a mortgage actually is Donations...probably Food I craved like nice dessert and Aperol spritz ingredients

Hands that start to look like my mom’s Aspirations that start to look like my dad’s

A little bit of time to dream But not enough money to see it all through
