I have to deal with the consequences of my actions. I’m 35 and I’m still learning this. I make a mess it’s up to me to clean it up. I eat unhealthy food, I get fat. As much of an injustice that I think it is to eat a chocolate cake because I have a bad day and then put on weight because if it. It’s incorrect to believe that by having a bad day I have earned the right to eat it and somehow magically not put on weight.

Every little action and inaction of mine has consequences and it’s me who must clean it up. Some people less than half my age understand this. I must understand it too before I lose even more precious time and continue to hurt people precious to me.

New Confession

A little snip, a little trim
To make the birdie sleek and slim
Mommy’s hand, a steady guide
With nowhere left for skin to hide

Cut away the wild and stray
To make my birdie, the Mommy way
Now it’s neat, now it’s small
Obedient to her every call.

The skin is gone, the line is straight
A sharp mark of a chosen fate
No more hiding, no more fold
Just the story Mommy told

A the sting of pain, a little red
Until the birdie’s peace is spread
Now it waits, a quiet thing
To hear the bell of Mommy ring.

No more veil, no more screen
The birdie stands, forever clean
A polished pearl, a steady sight
Held forever in Mommy’s light

A brand of love, her mark of grace
In this quiet, curated space
Now he waits, forever true
Doing everything Mommy wants him to.

I believe Mommy will find this poem a most fitting acknowledgment of her ownership of the birdie and me. I am happy to publicly thank Mommy for having my bird cut, trimmed, snipped and clipped. Thank you Mommy for having me circumcised.

if we are going to circumcise many of the boys in this country than it makes no sense to not perform a very similar and possibly less invasive surgery on girls where their prepuce is also cut a little for the same reasons.
