The Clay
Get them while they’re young
Get them while they’re ripe
Get them while they’re soft
And can be made into any shape you like

No personality
No sense of there own
I’ll take you somewhere unsafe
And convince you that it’s home

You’re so grown
So smart, so mature for you age
I was nothing like you
when I was in 10th grade

You’re so special to be chosen
When the gap is so wide
Sweet nothings behind the door
Before I force my way inside-

You body, your mind
Your spirit, your soul
Used and abused
As a form of control

That I lacked in my own life
For I was used too
And I was shaped to think
I could do the same to you.
