Killer

When you hear such words…
It’s like if you were told,
I don’t love you for who you are, change it.

And then you wake up dead,
spitting blood on somebody else’s words
as the reality licks off your pulse from the knife.

Choke.

This is a powerful piece. You should never change whom you are. Those that matter dont care and those that dont matter care. People should love you for being you not for what they think you should be. We all are simply humans it's our imperfections that make us unique! Love whom you are i always say! =)
