i took responsibility - Dr. Jo L

they are proud of me

my level goes from

maximum to

medium

risk

i think i am

happy or

proud or

relieved

then my body

becomes

a ball

on the

floor

sharp

animal sounds

emit from my mouth

i don’t know

where i

went

what did i

just

admit

to

was i

responsible

or did i

say what i

was supposed

to

was i just

being a good girl

one more

time
