You do not have to have been born in a test tube to be an extension of someone else’s ego.

if the moon smiled, she would resemble you.
you leave the same impression
of something beautiful, but annihilating.

“Thank you for the salty pig meat we are about to eat, along with the rest of the indigestible swill. And thank you for our new charade of a family. My father ran away when I was only six, and if I had known any better I would have joined him. And, also, because she’s been trying to get back into this house ever since she lost it, Lord, a big thank you for blinding the asshole that’s doing my mother so he can’t see what everybody knows: that she doesn’t really love him.”

her stare is louder than your voice
