Metamorphosis

Happy thoughts shape shifting into illusions of monsters.

Metamorphosis.

A caterpillar to a butterfly.

That's the final phase of that lonely caterpillar.

War of the mind.

I'm morphing into a hideous demon.

The face melting into a pile of mush.

Broken limbs, torn flesh,

skin oozing to the floor.

That is what WE want...

A man made metamorphosis.

Now the limbs can be reconstructed into the proper shape.

Molding, bandaging, painting.

Perfect eyebrows,

luscious lips,

rosy cheeks,

smile plastered on.

It all looks real.

No raised eyebrows even with all the head turning,.

Neck breaking.

The unimaginable has been deemed the reality.

We are not what we eat.

If we were we would be perfect.

Eating the perfect politicians in their perfectly pressed suits.

Eating the American Dream.

The marriage. The happy home with 2.5 kids ad a golden retriever named Annie.

We are broken now.

All of these falsities have morphed into something terrible.

Reality.
