"Yellow Flavoured Axe"

Asher Penney

@asherpenney

Anxiety feeling like an anchor in my stomach,

every time I jump for the stars,

I plum it, floor bound

something wrong with my plumbing, 

golden plum lodged in my pipe
rock solid, 

wish it was a little more ripe, 

double headed axe-iety, for a gut with no handle to hold, 

belly river rotten with the thickest of molds, 

living with a liver disease, 

chopping away at me, 

gives a different meaning to the feeling,

of fear, 

to feel yellow,

born like a ripe banana,

Bart Symptoms type baby,

internal gorilla warfare,

when you’re born as, 

the 

Alpha 

one 

Ant 

that 

tripped

 into

 a 

deficient 

sea

It’s not hereditary,

my mum had the lock,

and my dad had the key,


forever grateful because it grounded me, 


my alpha 1 anchor deficiency.
