the lessons I've learned

my parents taught me that manipulation is a form of love and keeping yourself hidden is the only way to survive my first love taught me that the only way to receive love is to use your body not your heart or mind the one i loved most taught me that you have to give everything until you are nothing my best friend taught me that perfection is more important than beauty and sometimes you have to cheat to get what you want the one who loved me most taught me that people are intricate beings and you never really know someone and sex and love can't exist together so now i love the ones who manipulate me i keep myself hidden i use my body not my mind i suck in my stomach and only eat when people are watching and have sex with strangers
