Whenever I look in the mirror, I see Frankenstein’s Monster. Where am I ? Dissociated somewhere, but hell, even I couldn’t tell you where. My eyes are no window to the soul because my human vessel lost it’s soul a long time ago I found it, shattered in the depths of my mind in so many pieces, I can never be whole again. But is that what I want? Or what society wants me to do? to pass as a human, to pass as a man. Is that who I truly am? So caught in the webs of preconceived notions I’ve been fed all my life: You are not a boy. You will never be a real man Well, **** you! I am untangling myself from this web, leaving the toxicity behind, surrounding myself with the sunshine I deserve. You can judge me all you want Just know; I am the one who is truly free.

A Transgender Man
I am Frankenstein's Monster. Only, I wear a veil. It hides me from view. Sometimes it slips, reveals a glimpse of me. People see, they run, they cry ...in horror. I am Frankenstein's Monster.

I am Frankenstein's Monster
After all the pain I can't help but think Is it truly worth it?

Oh you monsterous voice in my head don't tell me otherwise. If I ever get to grasp ahold of you I will tear you to pieces, showing no remoarse. For the time being I'll have to let you exist. I will show you how strong I truly am, till you are deminished to nothing more than a spec of dust.

I am worthy!
We don’t see the carrots to be cut, We see the sharp knife that could cut us. We don’t see the bridge, We see the other side of the railings. We don’t see painkillers, We see medication we could drown ourselves in. We don’t see the train, We see the tracks we could lay on. We don’t see the nice view, We see the cliff's edge we could jump off.

Inevitable
You can't just stop thinking that. You can't just stop feeling that. You can't just stop being ill.

Mental Illness
It takes everything from you Your eyes, unable to see beauty Your hands, unable to be creative Your ears, unable to be loved Your feet, unable to keep moving forward Your mouth, unable to ask for help Your nerves, unable to feel Your soul, unable to be alive
