Clone

Teach me to perfect, like you.

Those words, they stun me,
Cut me down to size.
It hurts me horribly,
Now that you despise.

Treat me badly,
Like a dog or mud.
Kick me a around,
Bang, bang, thud.

Torture me, tell me I’m trash.
Curse my name,
Call me out,
I’ll never be the same.

I’ll never be normal,
Never be right.
I couldn’t be pretty,
Not possibly bright.

I’m horrible,
I’m scum.
Teach me how to act like you,
Instead of like a bum.

Make me better,
Make me cool.
I’ll be great,
I’ll one day rule.

I’ll be the best,
I’ll be amazing.
I’ll be above their laughter,
Above their jests.
