I killed the girl I used to be I haven’t buried her yet I stare at her rotting corpse, in the corner of my room, of my heart, where she rests unmoving, unbreathing I killed her kindness because her kindness wasn’t killing anything and I needed to be deadly purge the weakness from my body with poison it burns me but hopefully, it hurts him too give me venom so I can bite back better yet toxic skin so touching me means death. make me dangerous so I can laugh when I want to scream she was too soft so I shot her through the heart and it didn’t make it unbreak. funny how that works I’ve crawled my way out of her shattered remains gruesome, but that’s what survival is surviving the changes I have wrought upon myself can only be considered ****** second degree malicious but not meticulous I killed the girl I used to be I killed her because he couldn’t now I’m something new something I can’t quite name don’t recognize but at least he hasn’t touched me
