Wildfires

You are a waste of space,
Not even I can be your guide sometimes.
My poor child
I am not your saving grace
I am not your best friend
Even if you think that’s the truth
so
be
it.

Just remember each bite of food,
Every sip of anything other than diet soda or water,
Is not what you need.

You are a waste of space,
Not even Mia wants to associate herself with you.
My dear
I do this because I know
What it’s like to be without flaws.

I want you to feel the same way.

At least if you die,
You’ll die
pretty. perfect. envied.
Unlike your ‘friend’, Autumn,
Who decided she couldn’t handle the pressure
Of being beautiful.

Nobody misses her anyway.

Just remember me;
I’ll forever be by your side
If you listen and obey what I tell you to do.

It isn’t that difficult, Iris.

Don’t make it complicated.

This is not a game.
