Sincerely **** you!
You who didn't so much teach me to talk as train me to say things your way
You who I hear in my head
As an infection of implication and inflection
Contorting my thoughts so I can't think straight
You who got me to gouge myself out with doubt
And handed me a scalpel
You who watch the dissection disinterested
Stopping me only to annotate "interesting" parts of my mental anatomy
You who taught me to prattle in Latin so the microscope you made me shove into my skull only left me looking alien
Until I only see homosapien, hypochondriac, hypocrite
Not the human
And my thoughts are obscured behind a fog of who's thinking them
