Horrified,
I stood there.
Looking in your eyes,
Emotionless as they are.

Horrified,
I stood there.
Realizing the flaws,
The faults you had made.

Hiding,
And dying inside.
I find your cloudiness,
Your coldness gives me warmth.

Hiding,
And dying inside.
I decide to find myself.

Waiting,
For the moment I say,
“I’m Better than you.”
