Some people like to
break themselves
like I broke
this
sentence,
.
for their fantasy of
meeting someone
who will
fix
them.
.
But you won't need
fixing at all if
you don't
break
yourself.
.
Why do you need
your other half
if you are a
whole
yourself?
.
Broken is not beautiful
unless you are rules
or spaghetti.
Tape
yourself.
