Translucence

This one's for you, Rose. The one who began my life. (She writes all the stories in this blog, if you didn't know it already.) My sweet Starter. :P (No, not the food. It's a long story. Inside joke.)

Hidden deep within nature’s castle,

I am her ancient beautician.
She created me with her own blood;
I am an immortal princess.

She disguises me, changes my colour;
she is selfless as a mother should be.
Like a spoiled child, I do not venture out;
Forever embedded in mommy’s womb.

You spear her, abuse her,
all in search of me, like a drug addict.
She resists as she can, but you annihilate her,
and kidnapping me, you claim me as your own.

You unlock the monster in you
whom you served, using me as the key.
It conquers and inhabits you;
to control your mind forever.

You amputate me, you torture me,
and stripping me of my clothes,
you secretly finger the pieces greedily,
flaunting your riches to drooling admirers.

In the light, I show you glimpses
of the monster you have become,
but the sun blinds you from realizing
the truth I scream out loud.
