***This is on gender/body dysphoria, sorry I put so many in here but the struggle is real folks.
Damn you
You're so close
Just out of reach
Deflated chest
Longer legs
Better face
Nicer hair
I wish I could hide in my shadow
It's taller,
Skinnier
Better.
If I could donate more than my organs
But my all
To another one who craves the curves I hate
The face I loathe
The voice I hear hurts my ears
And the frame that cages me
If I could know I made a difference
Then maybe I'd be worthwhile
Instead of letting this body go to waste
I just want to copy and paste
On one who deserves it
Who needs it
Let her burn
So he can rise from the ashes
Let a wounded soul be covered in patches
These dual lives must end
Together, he can mend
But until then
Damn you
You're so close in my face
But I can't keep your pace
Further and further you fall
Maybe one day, I won't see you at all
