Control
by Alana Alpres
Every morning I rise
And brew a cup of coffee.
The beans are freshly ground,
Bubbling on the stove,

I can never edit my face the way a plastic surgeon does
When I think about it I know I’ll never be satisfied with
What the mirror shows me

Trust may be lost but loyalty shall stay
