I want a cookie

I want a fucking cookie

For all the hard work I’ve done

For surviving

And I know we’ve all had to fight

In our own ways

Some harder than others

Many harder than me

So I say

We ALL should get cookies

We should all get pats on the back

And high fucking fives

For every moment we keep going

For every time we choose right over wrong

For every time we swallow our pride

For every goddamn time

I know it’s selfish

But I want to be fucking recognized

For managing not to completely lose my shit

Because that gets harder and harder in this world

But that’s not how this works

So, how about this

Let’s be proud of ourselves

That’s right

Grab that fucking cookie

And pat yourself on the back

And say

I deserve this goddamn cookie.
