#made-me-into
You grabbed my chest and ripped it open, Until my heart- all I was, fell on the linoleum. My lungs were full, so with careful precision, You used a scalpel and made an incision. For an agonizing time I waited... As you slowly took me apart and left me debilitated. You looked at my parts and with a close inspection You tossed out the ones that weren't perfection. Then you began to reassemble me, with parts that were new. While you repeatedly told me how much better they would do. I believed all of your words and didn't question it. But once they were in, my chest hurt, and they felt unfit. I wanted them out, and my old pieces back. But you said that wouldn't work, I couldn't back track. Now I'm stuck with pieces that don't fully fit me. Because I fell into the worlds description of who I should be.
