My Poisonous Teddy Bear Poem by Lily Vasquez

I find you
broken, beaten, defeated
Why?
I haven't the slightest idea
As we spend time together
I grow to know little things about you
You are MY teddy bear
complete with gashes in the stuffing
that one eye
and to top it all off
no stitches that beautiful smile
Immediately I try to fix you
Patch up your gashes
Give you two eyes
Stitch on that heart catching smile
Then?
You come to life
and slowly tear apart everything
I have done to fix you
I am momentarily hurt
Knowing that my hard work was in vain
But now I see that you are poison
Bad for me
Good to me
I will try to fix you again
To watch you destroy yourself
Like McDonald's
I'm lovin' it
