My heart is worth $145.42.
$7.40 worth of sinews and muscles that have endured.
+ $1.11 for all the scars craving your name.
+ $0.84 when Tracey from fifth grade called me fat.
+ $2.06 for the misery I drowned in.
+ $1.17 for all the times you touched me, laughing, and called it porn.
+ $13.38 when you made me a monster.
+ $63.88 when I walked away from you.
+ $31.46 for all the people who followed you.
+ $24.12 when I dared to call myself beautiful in the mirror.
+ $0.00 when it finally came to a rest in another person’s shelter.
