Dysphoria.
It's so hard to explain
And so complex in itself
Yet I feel it everyday so why can I not spell it out too you

Dysphoria is like wearing you shoes on the opposite feet

It's like wearing your shirt backwards and inside out

It's your body feeling itchy

It's sitting a certain way and feeling something you don't like

It's screaming and yelling because your uncomfortable but you can't do anything about it

It's the ache in your chest
And a pounding in your head

It's the hearing your voice and not talking for hours because you can't bare to hear it ring

It's remembering what you really are and losing your appetite for days

It's remembering what you are and losing yourself in the process

It's remembering what you are and your friends asking if you're alright because it looks like you've been crying

It's the clothes fitting to tight

It's the people reminding you

It's the pictures you take

And the words you say

It's your hands

It's your legs

It's the dresses and your lips

It's the curve of your face and the length of your hair 

It's anything and everything that reminds you of what you want to ignore

It's me
