The Night Talks • Vents

she

wanting to rip your own skin off
its kind of romantic
hell everything is romantic to me
even the way i want to die

my body was a cage
and there is no key
though i love my makeup
id love to braid my beard

ive accepted it
im a man
one who isn't afraid of dresses
but embraces them

but this body
as of now
is not me
it is her

shes a lovely friend
but sadly i must take my home back
sorry
not really

one day the cage will shatter
and ill step out
shell smile at me
and hand over the key
