Rich girl feet

Pretty and dainty

Rich girl feet

Meant to be

Beside the pool

They don’t like to work

Ready to be

Pampered

Massaged

Polished

And manicured

So why

Are they attached to me,

Who is broke?

For if feet can’t walk

Then what are they for?

My pump Constant companion Of my disease My sensor Resembles a feeding

Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
