Formed from browning decay
A surge of hopeย
Your impatience fattens meย
Drown your insecurities through my existence
The more you give
The more blame I have to take
Growing slow and gentle
Pink, pure beautyย
Pull back your handsย
Preceding my primeย
Kill me in time
Thin and bright
My skin is smooth and unbrokenย
Adolescent beauty like no other
This is my optimum time
Take me
Have me before I wilt
Deflowered before my pigments set
Heavy hands hold my fading life
Rough around my edges
Jagged and rapacious
I am most romantic cut
Settle my frame between plain paper
Remind me of my breeding purpose
Press me hard and gentle
Tight enough to preserve my corpse
What a waste I'd be to die ugly
I am beautiful
Up on a wallย
Taped in pagesย
Pinned in between the ugly ridgesย
Left to gather dust to clench your fetish
Always beautifulย
Especially in death

I love Mitski !! I love that song too and I see the similarities since my poem was also centered around perception of beauty and that fleeting feeling to be young and beautiful.
