Breakdown Sequence
First, the shell.
It smiles. It saves you. It always saves you.
When you're lost,
Who else can keep your lies intact?
Who else knows how to smile
And say, "I'm fine,"
Except your mask.
You wouldn't be lost without it,
But they might figure you out
And that would be worse.
Then, the envy.
It is the lightning bolt your smile hides.
Oh, but it's so methodical—
Taking notes on every asset,
Monitoring all character traits,
Making sure you know who's good.
And they're all so good.
It seethes like a fire,
And no one smells the smoke.
And the doubt,
Standing second in this set of triplets.
It whispers where your envy roars,
Yet the constant murmured questions can do more,
Much more damage than a pinch of jade green.
You can self-actualize,
But once the seed is planted, it doesn't come out,
You smile at their reassurance
But you know they don't know.
Third, insecurity.
If doubt is a whisper, this is less:
A thought, a reflex.
Yet the thought is from your brain,
The reflex is from your body.
It is a part of who you are,
Someone strong could change that, but this is you, remember
And even as you bleed to death,
It’s telling you red clashes with your skin.
(In the center,
It’s that smile,
That friendboygirl smile,
The one your mouth’s forgotten how to make)
I hope you like it!
