Create Me
Design me from scratch and however you like
You can make me
If not in your image than anything less
Mold me to be a most elegant wreck
Hate me
Examine my skin like I’m sullied and worn and
Berate me
At intimate moments I’m prone to recoil
I hate how I think that I’m better alone
Invade me
Dig your nails in my pores and uncover my guilt
I’m afraid we
Will not last through the night, and you’ll leave when we wake
It’s a daydream of yours but a nightmare of mine
One day when I’m older
I’ll be the king of cancelled plans
And my insecurities will get the best of me
Contain me
Bottle me up and then throw me to sea
You can hang me
Just tighten the rope, I won’t bother to breathe
Admire my struggle, my fumbles, my trouble
Speculating
A report and conclusion for all my delusions
I’m waiting
For my luck to catch up to my mouth and my mind
I’m engrossed with the notion that I must be dying
Erase me
I’ll go out with a bang and a cherry on top
Celebrating
A toast to my omens, a nod to my flaws
I will dance with the devil and sing with the gods
Now I will find a reason for this state of mind
When I am renewed, my conscious will betray the truth
I am all that I am, the remnants of a better man
My shame, my guilt, absolved
A curse to have been born so evolved
Now that we’re both sober
I can finally rest my head
These insecurities will always get the best of me
