Cracking.
Crumbling.
Falling.
Failing.

The only things that make sense.

Fumbling.
Flailing.
Screaming.
Shouting.

This destruction is all I know.

Crying.
Clawing.
Drowning.
Dying.

They tear you down with a promise of gold.
But laugh when they reveal all the lies they've told.

Listening.
Learn.
Copying.
Commiting.

I watch and practice, becoming mirror perfect.

Matching.
Memorizing.
Till my steps are perfect.

Silent.
Certain.
Keeping my mouth shut tight.

Training.
Trying.
Making sure they are pleased.

Knowing.
Disgusted.
Hating what I've become.

Cracking.
Crumbling.
Falling.
Failing.

It's only a matter of time before I break.
