Poetry: Ulterior motives

You wanted to slap that grin
right off of my face
and the words right out of my mouth.

You think your motives are ulterior
but they are crystal clear to me.

You love me
which makes you hate me.

Control.

Yourself.

You can't control me.

You bite into the core of me
and I am enraged.
It flows out of me like milk.

You are a beast living in a beast
living in an open flesh wound.

You can take no more.

The beating of your heart
is louder than the cogs of your brain
and I'm looking at you
under a microscope.

I am invincible.

Whatever you try,
whatever you do,

cannot overpower
who you created the day
you slapped my face.
