i saw the mask
you wore
day in
day out
waltzing to the time
of your foot-stepping dance
of lies and deceits and little
celery sticks because they burned
more calories than you used while
eating them with your eyes becoming
erasers to make your sides lines
though they were just as thin as they needed
to be

i don't know why you needed
to be so much better
or why you felt so much less
but the falseness in your stench is something
i cannot ignore anymore
and something i will not
tolerate

they say you pulled down the shower curtain
they say you pulled down the shower curtain with your rage
how befitting
