i am becoming you

i am mimicking the abuse you once portrayed

but worse.

because i am taller now

and i have long bony fingers

that point at you

and i hang over you with my gums vibrating to the tones of my hurt

my shaking teeth on display and my saliva splattering your face

until i snap back and realise i do not want this

i never have

because

i remember vomiting over the idea of becoming you

monster

monster!

i am
not.
