I will never let you see me unedited.
I always want to put makeup on before anybody sees me.
I never let anybody read my unedited poetry.
I am terrified you will see who I am and dislike it.
I will make sure to package myself neatly into a box,
Perfectly ready for shipping and taped up nicely
Until I suffocate from the plastic wrapping.
I won't ever stop.

Perfectly ready for shipping and taped up nicely
Until I suffocate from the plastic wrapping.
I won't ever stop.
