Cops and robbers was a great game as a kid. Teams split into two, we would pull sticks to know what team was what. But growing up I see now that even after the game has been done in my mind it has never ended. To my soul I am the villain, the robber, the monsters in a cage, to my feelings, I neglect and run away, to my body I distain, I spit the taste of a well cooked meal down the drain as the scale tells me im a pound to heavy and my mother says that im a thigh to skinny. To my friends im a perfect picture 'A+' , to my teachers im a extroverted table mate, to my parents im their precious daughter. 16 years old and I still feel like a robber. I rob the people I live with and the people I see on a daily, not of money, not of objects. I rob them of the truth, I sell them lies of myself, pictures they want I pose in every way bending my bones and the chemicals of my blood to fit the painting of me in their head. Cops and robbers was just a game until we see it was what we would become when we grew up. I never wanted to grow up but I never wanted to stay small, bad days I would say I cant wait to be an adult, and good days I would say I want to stay this age forever, but now that im older, I see that nothing will be the same. Cops and robbers isnt just a career its a term to describe someone on the inside and now when I meet someone I will understand if they are a fellow robber, because they will rob me and I will rob them, and no one will know because we only rob the truth they deserve and sell lies they didnt want but it was just a cover up so they wouldn't see the damaged goods underneath of what we were selling to their own soul, i am a robber, I agree I wasn't made this way, and never want to be forced to change again Saint
