who am i 
beneath clever lying eyes 
i am broken 
like toys, like cheat plates
like a dying plant with broken roots 
i am a heart 
beating, pulising, aching 
a completely illogical fist of flesh 
i am a girl 
emotional, and indecisive 
caught up in games no one wants to play 
charming, sensual, 
and over all a trickster of the trade 
but i am burnt 
like skin, like cookies
like a light hanging over a street 
i am cute because they say so 
i am smart by default 
i am loving when i get what i want 
i am not who i wish i was 
i am a liar, a cheater
a girl in a tight wife beater 
a soul searcher, a glass breaker
but beneath my clever lying eyes 
i am a mess
