wrong.wrong.wrong.

is that the only word that you can articulate

when you utter my name?

 

"try it again."

 

are you even beginning to understand

that there are lines you can't cross

and pleas you can't hear

and even if i am wrong,

i am not a monster?

 

"no. again."

 

wrong is not the only thing i am, you know

i may not be as pretty-as-you-please

and on my hands an knees

jumping through your latest hoop

like some circus freak

is ugly the only adjective

you can place upon my head?

 

"once more."

 

wrong...wrong...WRONG.

i am NOT

your paperdoll

i am NOT

your property

i am NOT a monster

and this time...

i'm not going to be the victim

 

"try again."

 

i'd rather be wrong

than your plaything

i'd rather be cold

that burnt by your sinister speech

even if these words are all i can articulate,

at least i won't be ashamed to say my own name.

 

"It's over."
