deconstruct me

shatter the illusion of a human being
then super-glue the shards back together

you must do so meticulously
because otherwise you’re left with someone unnatural

someone foreign and incomplete
someone turned into something

callous hands create monsters
and somewhere in your subconscious you’re taking away pieces

negative aspects are tossed aside and meant for burning
and that’s where you’ve messed up

because those are the shades that saturate me
and the miniature ice-picks that chip away at you

but we can’t have it both ways
so make a choice
