Oh, my darling,
look how we’ve both grown.
It seems, oh so it seems,
I’m still the hideous mistake,
and you are the gorgeous temptress.
That isn’t the surprising part.
I’m shocked and saddened to say
you’ve adopted the traits I’ve learn so it hate.
You’ve learned to take my weakest parts and crush them into crystals.
You’ve been taught to use my crystallized insecurities, as stones to tear and mince.
You shred me into to pulp, so I made myself into a papier-mâché person.
Papier-mâché doesn’t stand a chance against the stones you used to break me.
~
I am a papier-mâché person.
Used to the crushing sadness that made me.
