Nonsense

It’s the question of the day. What do you want from me?

I tell him I’m stupid and don’t understand the question. I was raised to beg, to ask for what I need and steal it if denied. What the fuck is a want and why the hell did he think he owned it?

I was trapped in my computer playing a game not realizing I was an NPC but he knew it all along. They all did. Everything I asked for was a mirage of everything they didn’t have to give.

There was one bag of ugly I’d been waiting to unload and there he was asking what I wanted. I wanted him to take all of it, take it away from me and then find a way to look at me and call me beautiful. That’s a non-request from an NPC and looks like a goodbye wave from shooting range distance.

Today I sit here behind the screen with bags emptied, still ugly and re-spawning each season with a new outfit hiding the same wanting soul.
