The Teratogen that Raised Me
Location
You act so tough,
You act so brave.
But really,
you are the empty beer bottles
that you used to hide.
you couldn't face the world
with who you really were.
you had this foundation
that was thick like frosted glass,
but you were translucent to me.
I saw right through to your emptiness.
To your empty promises
and conversations.
