A Feast to Remember

You came into the world

Awaken I am because of you

I thank thee

For fearing not me

For I rather you fear thyself

I quench my thirst for your tears

Each flavor

Envy tastes very memorable

Jealousy is rather bitter

Pain soothing to the buds touch

I will you to compare your flesh to another

Why complain?

You know you can buy it all

I yearn for you to question decisions

Boredom, sigh, yawn

Pick up that phone

Send that text

Because you are in dismay of reality

Drown in the idea of rejection

Rejection has a stingy scent of sadness

Speak of that luxury of smelling

Hate that nose you think is morbid?

The nose you despise on your sensitive face

Forgetting it’s purpose of breathing

You’d rather hide behind your raven curls

Or those brown eyes that are a mask

To the window of your unsoul

For souls are mentally living in purpose

Try it on, you know it will make you feel big

But not in the areas you think define a true woman

Don’t speak in class, you assume they think you’re inarticulate

Is that me or is that you?

I eat away at your anxiety

The kind you give yourself because you like complaining

Do you like being a victim

Does it water what you call an ego?

So sweet and savory I begin to drool

It is so easy to be negative than positive

I applaud you

For being human

I’ll go as far as introducing harm

Would you like to add more scars

The scars you get you think are ugly

You think he would call you ugly?

You don't see yourself the way he does, or they do

Pause, you earned those as battle scars

But you insist it is a negative thing

Because your skin is marked

Isn’t your mother proud of her crecent skin?

The marks you gave as you grew within

You fear living more than death

We are never truly alive unless we die

Ask Eurydice

You think Orpheus missed her?

Think not

He feared losing her to a person who can for her be better

He fears losing masculinity

So as he, you write it

As the hand shivers to eat

Knowing what can go inside can alter the outside

I love stealing self controL

It is a blanket at night as I rest my head on your desires

I despise self-appreciation

Why?

Because you are not special

At least that is what you convinced yourself

Grab the hand held

I promise it won’t crack

Want to defeat me

Fear me winning and hope to defeat yourself

Fear is what you call upon

When you yearn and not earn

Prevail the lesson, not the fail

The disappointment of a parent

Overbearing to you as their legacy, not a memory

Here you are worried about the wrong things

Half empty or half full is your mind

When you think not of an unwanted outcome rather than a possibility

What do I know

Besides I being the reason why

The sole reason you

Pain

Weep

Doubt

Compare

The reason you are a non-believer

A non-believer in the only thing you should know

A religion, a temple, an entity of its own

Yourself

What happiness could you obtain but banish at the thought

The chilling thought of failure of you and for others

I can’t even breathe, vulnerability never tasted so good
