Identity


I am jealous of her

For the identity she knows she belongs to

Using a boy for an excuse to get where she wants

For my spells that don’t work on myself

So I cannot act upon who I want to identify as

So I will use her desires to get what I want

To get her femininity

Her voice

For I am trapped by the depth of my own

And if she crosses me I know her father will save her

He will trade the trident for her life

Then at last for once I can be who I want to be
