how should a person be

negotiations

Dusty Crates

You spoke of my body in a negotiation of price

This is wrong with it tell me why 

reduce the price for the damage it has

Words that have been chosen in a previous conversation with an unknown third party

Not curious

Settled upon

Decided

Consulted 

Mulled over

Valuation

Input from outside sources

Agreed upon the new fact that it was less beautiful than you initially thought

Demanded answers as to why.

Don’t worry, I will fix it for you.

Change my skin.

Go into a state of disintegration

Emerge worthy of your affection

Or I walk.

Find a collector who desires the flaws

Lucky to find a treasure

Miss you forever starting now

    Wow, this is such a powerful and raw piece. I love how you captured the complexity of self-worth and the harshness of being reduced to something so transactional. The way you explore the intersection of external judgments and internal battles is really thought-provoking. It feels almost like a conversation with yourself, reflecting on past experiences and demanding validation. I especially love how you end on such a poignant note — the idea of walking away and finding a new perspective, even if it means being forever changed. Incredible work.
