How could anyone know?
What it felt like to be me
To wake up and want to look like someone else
I was a stranger
Even to myself
Dyed my hair
Changed my clothes
Wore thick makeup
Nothing helped
I was still the same
Someone lost inside
Trapped in my body
I was the girl
The one in the corner
Hidden away from everyone else
Including herself
Don't know who I am anymore?
Who were we?
No one knew
I just existed
Breathing
Waking
Just the same
A living dead
Who didn't know where she belonged?
The game changed
I met you
Suddenly, I was breathing and living
The same as you
I felt complete in a new way
If only you felt the same.

RandomThis is my shitty poetry book to help sort through the thoughts and feelings coursing through me. Some of it probably isn't real poetry but just words. NOTE: There will not be regular updates.
