Rich

Rich
a flourless chocolate torte
those drowning in materialism

but this is not what I mean when I use
rich
it’s how I describe my deepest friendships
those who sacrificed
invested
loved me when I didn’t love myself
those who show up
support me
see me

They help me survive
They are my rich everything
