The Garden of the Black Rose: Poetry: Emily Cox: The Prep

Go on
Primp your vanity
See if I care
Make yourself
Shallow as a puddle collecting in the gutter
Watch me
Not lift a finger
But in the end
What do you have?
Just another clone
Just another chess piece to place on the board
I won't become a pawn in the game of my life
As you have
In your's
