Misnomer

Misnomer You piece of trash... You garbage... You disgusting... Wait am I not the reflection of everything you wish to hold in your arms but can't because I'm so close yet so far away Am I not the same garbage you admired a few minutes ago You tell yourself you don't care but your soul couldn't let you throw me out so you wrapped me in a black plastic bag but little did you know that brings peace to me Disgusting is everything you see in the mirror once you realize the little love you have for yourself You put your dirty paws on me and then turn a left cheek because you're right one has been Scar'd by those who once loved you Scar'd by those you never thought would leave Little boy didn't the world tell you that fairytales don't exist Didn't the world show you that things aren't picture perfect norh are they worth it Didnt the world humble you by making you see you're not the finest thing that walked this earth This ain't about bruising your self-esteem you're a fool if that's what you think It's me being a reflection of everything you dreamed off but I killed your dream once you decided to put your dirty paws on a garbage bag that was never yours to begin with Your dream died because it was never yours to begin with You stole it Stole it from a girl who was turned sour by the joys life brings You stole it and thought i would let you see another fairytale ~Low Key Poet ?? -Sihle Simelane
