my body is a hell

..and I've been running out of patience

my poems aren't as clever anymore

people say they're all too honest

but honesty is all I can afford

maybe loss is not a bad thing

cus' maybe I can write these songs again

or maybe now it's just a pastime

maybe I should treat it like a friend

a friend I won't see again

cus' i don't wanna die
but truly i don't wanna be alive
i wish that i could vanish in my sheets
and turn into the puddles on your street

cus' i don't wanna die
but truly i don't wanna be alive
i wish that i could vanish in my sheets
and turn into the grounds beneath your feet

cus' i've been losing all my knowledge

sometimes i forget who i am

and am at the mirror

but i don't recognize that man

my mom wanted a daughter

but she'd think it was absurd

cuz as much as I feel different

family won't accept those words

they won't love me if I'm her

but I just wanna change
and everybody tells me it's a phase
i don't feel right as myself
with my failing mental health

and I just wanna change
but everybody tells me it's a phase
and I don't feel right as myself
my body is a hell.
