I feel exposed, scared that the world
will take a bite of me
and decide I taste like spoiled strawberries
rather than decadent chocolate.
Chocolate is too sweet
to define me, I am much too bitter
most days - though dark chocolate
is supposed to be "healthier" for you -
I am no sort of healthy for you.
For you, my wrapping is protection:
it seals my sharp corners
and smooths my vicious words,
but it seals these in -
I am the victim of me.
