when kindness ensnares me i'll chew off my foot

and cauterize with searing cruelty

 

preferring to be unfettered

free of dependence of any sort 

 

I tolerate honest hostility more readily than

sweet sentiment 

 

when I apply makeup it is never to invite attention

it is always to create a mask
