the monster in you now

You inherited my fears

You inherited my insecurities

You inherited my movements

You inherited my words

You inherited my thoughts

 

I created you

With every flaw you have laid before you

You've become the person I've shed away, you've become the person I was in years of that dark gray

I love you as you were, I love you as you are

But in this moment realize, you carry my filthy scars

I don't want them back but we can shed yours too, we can get rid of this grey and this blue

Don't rub them on me, it took me so long to get them to flee
