Frankenstein's Crown

As I child, I was told that I can be anything

But under rules

They place jewels on my skin

Cut my hair, placing it on a high shelf where I can never see

My wants were delays, and my needs were bothersome

I follow their words, then I trail into unfamiliar words within new worlds

Shoving sin and shame for being a trailblazer

Then, gaining friends, flying with butterflies and moths

Only to turn into flames of humiliation and forgetful memories.

Then, in the darkness, in the back of mirrors, I found freedom

Earbuds and music pouring into my ears, I found peace

Imagines and unknown faces that I created became my world.

Now as they try to rip this piece by piece, I began to lose control.

Putting my new home holes with mud, glass, and soap.

Let my flesh, skin rot, let them see the damage

But arggorant and ignorant

I do not own their blood any longer because I have lost all of my own.

Consumed in darkness, I don't see and feel what I once was

I walked out with more than scars

I left what they wanted, skin and answers

I held tight, stars that they would never understand

The void between my eyes

and lastly a feather, to never forget, regret, or look back at this.
