This mess



I’m hunched over
I’ve not breath
I can barely stand myself
In a mirror making me two
I am half me and half a part of you
I took off probably to young to fly
But your nest
was not for me to rest
You wouldn’t have it
If you knew what was there
You didn’t want it
Turned on me without a care
I’m the asshole
I can wear it well
With a grain of salt
With a sickening spell
Wear your smile
Do your best
Cleaning up the rest of
........This mess
