you painted red on my lips wider than my mouth, reeking with insecurities you pulled my teeth out. you wiped my gushing tears put mascara on my eyes, pouring envy you stapled them and bleed my ears with lies. you tied a blue ribbon on my dress, swore darkness in between my hands. scathing my heart with loneliness, you clipped strings on my arms and legs. when the spotlight unfolds the curtains a wild puppet show, their clap and cheers— burried the screams of my agony and pain. all they see on me was a smile from afar, blinding flashes of camera hides all my scars. after my tickets got sold—i surrendered writing death on my palms, and when i kissed the tip of blade with my wrist that’s when i finally found my peace. for you are a foe disguised as my friend, and the death of me will be your only end. a friend or a foe, 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧.
