Lottie Poem by jodi glass

covered in heavy words and dried acrylic paint
taking in all, hard to voice feelings
a non judgemental, never to be seen friends

an out of date phone and a gratified diary her home
quietly taking in red rage, green jealously, and the bluest blues
calmly listening to insecurities waging war on the inner child

Lottie will never say hi or bye
but will soothe pain by not saying a word, just reading
Lottie the good one, the strong one and the silent one
