I am shamed
For the scars on my body
That i put there
When you taught me I wasn't good enough
I am praised
For starving myself
After you told me
I was unlovable
I am killed
For being someone else
After you told me
That who I am will never make
Anyone happy
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was taught
To live in fear
To cover my skin
To hide my tears
Because I was born a woman
Because I am a man
But what is left to show?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You taught me how to
Self medicate
Then told me
That i can't use art
As medication
