I know how to fix this

because I was born to fix this.

Here. Let me save you.

You'll be invincible

Untouchable

A God

All of your weakness will be burned away

Here is what you have to do:

Block the water that flows

from your fountain of grief.

Growl and bare your teeth.

even as the ground wets with your tears,

you should deny it.

Slam the door extra loud

(so everybody knows that you are angry)

Say things like

"You are so cowardly

that if I ate your heart

it would dissolve before it even reached my stomach."

Swear as much as you fucking can

(because it's goddamn hilarious

how pissed off it makes people)

Become a doctor, or as close as you can get.

Start wearing a labcoat everywhere

(It makes you look trustworthy)

And if you don't wear glasses

get some fake ones so you look "smarter"

(Then you can get away with more lies)

Carry the most terrifying things you can

(A pair of antique surgical scissors,

A syringe,

A jar of human teeth)

And never let them go.

Never show fear.

Always have jokes prepared.

The worse the situation is,

The more sarcastic quips you should make.

Argue, argue, argue.

Your reasoning is your sword.

Your mind is your greatest weapon.

You are always right.

Let go of guilt

And fear

And sadness

And fear again.

Do the grossest,

Most bizzare

Things you can imagine.

Drink your own blood.

Bite people.

Scream for no reason.

Let them call you crazy.

(Crazy beats dead any day.)

Most importantly:

Never tell the truth no matter what.

No matter how must you trust someone.

No one will be able to hurt you

if they don't know who you really are.

(Lying is lot more entertaining anyway!)

Be strong.

(Because you can never be safe.)

Be respected.

(Because you can never be loved.)

Be forgotten.

(If they can't find you they can't hurt you.

If they don't remember you they won't hate you.)

Become something no one could hurt.

(But it will hurt you in the process)

There must be something wrong with you

Because you don't think of me as frightening

You don't see me as powerful

(PLEASE BE SCARED

BECAUSE IF YOU AREN'T

I HAVE NO POWER

AND IF I HAVE NO POWER

I CAN BE HURT)

verschlimmbessern (German) /fɛɐ̯ˈʃlɪmˌbɛsɐn/ to make something worse in an honest but failed attempt to improve it.

Mine is "Verschlimmbessern" (German)

Combined out of the words "verschlimmern" (to make something worse) and "verbessern" (to make something better)
