Virtualise a lie

I am not made of clay.

Nor am I a doll.

As much as I look like one, of course.

Why would you be with me

Just to mould me into her.

Then cry.

Because she "isn't what you wanted?"

You don't make sense.

You're a liar and a thief.

Crying,

Denying my beliefs

Today, I lurched forward

Beyond looking in the mirror

and laughed.

I feel like there's no place for the real me!

I feel like a liar, a fake.

There's nothing special about whatever I feel I am anymore.

Oh, how 'thrilling' it is to Virtualise a Lie.
