little girl

 

let the sugar

of falseness

of untruth

of silicone

 

consume 

your bitter tongue

in waves of

sickeningly

sweet

swallows

 

now

take another sip

 

drown.

if you can&#039;t handle me at my worst,<br /> then you certainly don&#039;t deserve at my best!<br /> <br /> it is the events that shape our lives, <br /> but it is the choices we make that define us...<br /> <br /> life is not about finding yourself,<br /> life is about creating yourself
