Twisted knife

470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLdVrSS2P4

I’m not insecure,

But I’m also not confident.

For a while, back some years ago,

I told myself over and over again

That I am the best of the best,

The cream of the crop,

The top-notch girl.

470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9A70TPysm

And for a while I believed it.

I believed it like I believed the people

Who said they cared about me

With their fingers crossed

Behind their backs while I

Had a knife buried in mine.

Who stuck it there,

I cannot exactly remember.

I know it has been twisted

By different people, but the original

Assaulter is lost in my mind.

470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec79jASW2v

Tucked away like my childhood memories

And reoccurring nightmares

From when they first left me

Lying in the dirt at the end of

Washington Avenue.

470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSla5IIizdF

I could ignore their insults

For one amazing year, and it ended

As suddenly as it began.

470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnC1nOWRun

I could no longer convince myself

That I was the it-girl everyone wanted,

The one desirable prom-queen type of girl,

The most beautiful thing anyone had laid their eyes on.

470Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeElIag2ID

All it took was one more twist of the knife

To end all of the rose-colored ignorance and bliss.
