Silly Putty
i molded myself into what you wanted me to be.
i changed myself to be palatable and likeable for you, until i was diluted.
i handed myself over like a lump of clay. like silly putty.
i let myself be shaped,
smoothed,
flattened,
kneaded,
stretched,
poked,
grabbed,
thrown,
bounced,
smooshed.
pieces of myself taken, until i was small.
i was a pitiful golem in your image.
i thought it was what i deserved.
but now i see;
it was silly to think that it would ever be enough for you.
