i have finally learned
i am built for being quiet
i am built for petting cats
i am built for cleaning rooms
i am built for naps and sleepovers
but i am not built
for relationships
i am not built for love
i am not built to last
i am built to be a scream through a screen
and a virtual hug with pretty word
edited, mind you
i was built for when you need me
i can't be used all the time
i am no pair of old boots
i am not a good jacket
i'm not a house
i am not even a room
i am a Styrofoam cup
i am useful once
i wasn't built to keep you safe
i was built for three minutes of comfort
i was built for you to let go
but now i am bent and breaking
because Styrofoam wasn't built for this
