youve raised a snail with no shell.

I can honestly say I am not a fan of change.
I am a creature of habit and I thrive for consistency.

A man who claims to have raised me lives in his own pattern.
Everything is calm for months.
Everything is habitable in his presence.
I feel as if he deserves another chance, maybe I can forgive him.

He snaps. I am yet again left the sniffling fool.

It repeats.

Those months of monotony and simplicity are where I find a half-way comfort. It's almost safe.
I've built a business plan to make the consistency last:
-put on a smile
-always listen and agree
-nothing ever bothers me
-be malleable like tin-foil

The man thinks through his rage pattern he has taught me to be tough. To stand my ground.
Nothing could have made me more naive and vulnerable.
