I was once handmade into perfection
He said I'd rise above all
I was stared at like an art collection
I am the perfect doll
He said he'd always love me
Said he'd never hurt me
But he only hated me
And he'd only hurt me
Piece by Piece
He made me perfect
And I made peace
With the child neglect
But then I grew unhappy
Then I grew mad
I was no longer happy
I acted very bad
He smashed me apart
And...

Machines have no feeling
No emotion
No humanity
Just emotionless machines
As their creators
So when a person
Goes through the hassle
Of hand making you a gift
Made with love
Care
And emotions
Don’t take it gently
In this world of AI
Machines are anything but rare
Everything is metal
Everything is AI
Everything isn’t human
No matter how ugly
Or awful
Or just poorly made
That scarf w...

A handmade heart only beats for a second
Failing back into nothingness
A broken heart could do no better
So don’t cry when I don’t laugh again
A handmade smile only stretches across
To amuse those who fight to bring it down
But little do they know that a scar doesn’t fade
When it was carved too deep to quiet thoughts too loud
A handmade soul only aches for a minute
Because then again th...

It wasn't store-bought, darling, that much is true,
No easy assembly, no fast glue.
We built this ourselves, from the ground to the roof,
A complicated structure that needed more proof.
I picked out the lumber, the steel, and the stone,
Refusing the kits that were easily grown.
I hammered the promises, one by one straight,
And sanded down arguments, sealed by some fate.
Every flaw in the pattern, ...

I started forming myself
This kind of forming you see in movies
Those where you just glow up
Those where you become a different person from one day to the other
I know this wouldn’t be easy
I always knew this
I knew that it would be the hardest time of my life
I knew this wouldn’t be good for me
But still I proceeded
I tried changing myself to someone who I’m not
Changing myself to a better me ...

My world is carved just for you,
With tired hands, down drips dew,
On the brink of collapse,
But I pray it’ll pass,
Adds to the love I put upon you.
My soul is painted with trust,
Shared between the two of us,
A barely-holding thread,
A waste that sews in dread,
Watercolored tears fall, I fuss,
Should I really wrap myself in a bow,
If I feel like you shouldn’t be bestowed?,
I’m surely overrea...

Handmade things are much more sentimental…
Growing up my grandma was my best friend, sometimes I think she still is.
Handmade me a soft cast for my broken heart every time I needed it she would
I watched a lot of price is right
Easily detecting fools gold is my talent
My grandma handmade me into the person I am today
DNA doesn’t matter
Love does....

The darkness
The dreams
The sharpness
The screams
The love
The hate
The blood
The weight
The bruises
The tears
The truth is
The fears
The lies
The trauma
The cries
The drama
The slashes
The streaks
The crashes
The leaks
The secrets
The cuts
The regrets
The 'but's
The problems
The issue
Has always
Been you...

The morning light’s golden hue,
Filled the kitchen with an magical view.
He wraps his arm around my waist,
Whispering “I love you” then gone without a trace.
Off to work he goes,
Everything handmade.
From the stories we make,
To the bread that I bake....

I made my life for you,
My hands,
Binding,
Scrawling,
Bleeding,
Clawing,
Converting myself into a leather bound book.
I have painted the cover in memories and tears,
Ink drawn from my veins.
Putting pieces of myself together,
In a simple chapter by chapter description.
It’s not until chapter five, that you see my soul dance between pages.
Chapter fourteen, that you watch my mind scatter amongst ...
