Mother
She is my clay
Free for me to mold to whatever I wish.
I deserve to.
I made her.
I am her creator.
And I am the person she’s afraid to become.
Her tears are my opportunity.
Her yawns are open doors of manipulation.
Let me mold you daughter.
Let me make you into who I wanted to be.
Let me make you perfect.
You say I don’t know you.
But I’m the one who you are the most like.
Do you assume I don’t know myself?
Come here child.
Come into the arms of cynical embrace.
Let me feast on your insecurities.
Crunching the doubts and fears
Between my teeth.
Tasteful.
Satisfying.
Delightful.
