I wish I lived in an utopia
Where everyone’s accepting
But where I live is just not it
Dystopia is here
And here I lie
Looking at the sky
Cover up the mirror cuz I can't stand the sight of me
Every single organ is on fire on the inside of me
Stewing in a brew made of black coffee and anxiety
Burning to the marrow of my bones who I had tried to be
I remember deciding I was awesome, and that
was all that mattered.
I remember thinking others were bossy,
Crying because I was called the same.
I am trapped in the closet,
Such a scary place,
With monsters around me,
About to bite my face.
I hold on for dear life,
Day after day,
Waiting, just waiting,
Will I fade away?
Am I not human,
For having the courage,
To stand up,
And embrace who I am?
I am no different from you,
We eat the same food,
Breath the same air,
Is it just because I wear a binder,
Once upon a time
A princess was imprisoned
By her stupid, rich, right-wing parents
And their fucking shit religion
They told her she was wrong to feel
Like God made a mistake
The emphasis placed on between the legs
Is what is reflected in the world today
We have become so consumed with a person's sex
That it takes precedence over the person they are
Who they will become
