Why wasn’t it love

that brought me here?

I’m inside

the mail-bride;

she was ordered for me.

I am a tool

of an ego’s satisfaction,

this is all I live for.

When I arrive screaming,

I’ll be wearing that

generic pink hat

that the hospital will give me,

in case others don’t know.

I was created to please.

I don’t know if I’ll ever succeed.

My family is nothing

but

a war

that can never be won.

I’m here.
