you never expected to become
a hack job,
but face it
stupid girl
you saw nothing wrong with being sick until they were all
screaming at you that you were and
you were swallowing flower petals and ocean views because
you are what you eat, and
even if you aren't then maybe (if anything) the salt
could close the wounds
(never mind the sting, it's not like you can feel it anymore anyway).

my dear you are a catastrophe,
you are far too pliable for your own good,
far too ready to adapt to the unthinkable but unable to
backtrack,
you lack
the common sense to circumvent the disasters you have
taken upon yourself
to endure
in place of them
(the ones who got through to your thick head and
convinced you that you're nothing unless led astray).

you leave your wilted flower stems in the ashtray,
hope to lead yourself back to stability and say
i'm not an atrocity i'm an array of
everything i need to be to feel
human again.

you have been reborn into
all your mistakes and all the times
you've been replaced and
misplaced yourself:
you're an outcast now,
little girl,
welcome to the realm of misfits
and chaos and
your own personal hell.
you are a voodoo doll and if you were wise
you'd take the time to
reevaluate why you're here
(as if you haven't overthought it enough anyway)

you have transformed into the
manifestation of your downfall,
and all the things you did
to yourself to get here.
whisper quietly warnings to the onlookers -
do as i say not as i do

(you never meant to become like this but that
doesn't mean you're exempt from the
consequences).
