I wonder how many of us
have spent our lives
trying to become someone
we believe is more deserving of love.
How many times
have we looked at ourselves
and imagined a better version
of the person staring back at us?
He wants you to become
everything you ever dreamed of being.
But he cannot understand
why you would want to remain
anything less.
But how much of ourselves
can we change
before we become strangers
to the people we once were?
I was the only flaw
he couldn’t remove.
And maybe the real horror
was never the monster I created.
If someone removes every flaw
that makes you human,
have they perfected you
or erased you?
