One Second Old

I was born whole
And complete,
Loving and loved
Hopeful and hoped for
But I've been falling apart since I was born
For a single second in time,
I was perfect
Angelic
Sinless
And happy.
But that's been deteriorating
At two second old I had already begun the process
Of losing was made me perfect
I cried
And I whined
And that's all normal for a baby
But normal isn't perfect
As I grew up, I caused trouble
I spoke too loud
And got angry and miserable
Then I got sad and depressed
And lost
And confused
And that's not perfect
I've been crumbling apart
Since the day I was born
as every cell replicates
I crumble further from the mold
I was set in
Further from when I was one second old
