The Cold Glass
My collorbones like handles poking through my skin
The rungs of a ladder to pull me out and set me free
And when I pull to climb out of this wretched body
I feel instead myself crumble and fold within
my hopes and dreams spilling out of me
I can feel myself go crashing to the floor
but im still standing staring at my reflection
my hand reaches out to press against the cold glass
and what it portrays moves with me
but what it portrays is not me
this reflection stabs my heart
I feel a stream forming on my cheeks
I collapse to the floor
I feel a disconnect like i am no more
my body is not right cuz thats not me
I'm a boy
who is she
