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.
