can’t seem to catch a break inside this body weight
once too skinny twice overweight
contentment’s not to waste
desired regardless

Countless sufferers wonder what they’re looking at in the mirror,
silently judged by countless observers.
When your most shameful insecurity surfaces in irony
you abandoned happy, settled for identity.
An inner voice that’s picked blame over courage -
taught to welcome violent thoughts and cradle shame.
For having lost a toothbrush, skipped a meal and failed to resonate.
A dreadful feeling of inadequacy pulsates when facing a picture-perfect roommate.
She’s thriving // you fall asleep when she awakes.
We persevere to cancel a foreign state and wish hard not to suffocate. Practice should equal perfect.
If I had to bet, society’s side effects hit heavier than cigarette.

C’est comme un compte à rebours:
L’autre déception du nouveau jour
On tente sans jamais y croire
On est démunis d’espoir

I think Archie’s screams are to blame.
King Krule’s no longer keeping me afloat
Boy Harsher doesn’t hit the same
I’m fine to lose appetite and still grow fat
I’ve learned to lose drive, crash dive and dream to thrive
But Alex G no longer makes me wish to play,
When Blonde Redhead's on it doesn't feel like my birthday
I’ve grown used to stay in bed, bail on a friend
- the latter severely shames and I'm all to blame
A life without music, a new baseline of a diagnostic
If anyone's wondering - yes I'm still sick.

There’s a piece of me
thrown in ungraspable territory
Forever captured by bigotry -
belonging to those who silently used me.
Unknowingly, I was greeting it -
Smiling as teachers witness absurdities
Thankful as they complimented my body
Proud when the shy guy finally touched me.
Little did I know it was demeaning
I’ve been deceived about the relevance of my skin
Not abused nor victimised
We’d laugh - so much it was normalised.
Later defiance sprang from envy
I’d bring a knife to the party, act a little sassy
I’d talk back when they chased me, wear a skirt insolently.
Just testing boundaries as they fancy my body -
may I help them **** off at the sight of me?
//
And after all that time there’s a piece in me
One part shame one part indignity
Forever confused and tranquilly fury.

Quietly quitting as a lifeless career
Our affinity feels like muscle memory.
Hosting the peak performance of a masked dissonance
I’d be well accompanied by your absence.
Accumulating hints of disdain, somewhat willingly
We let each other down, repetitively.
It’s a one-way trajectory,
A tedious forgery.
Inhibited it’s all the same -
I bore you to death and I’m all ashamed.
So we let each other down, eventually
You stopped messaging,
I stopped calling.

My root country hits number 1 in poverty
My adopted land feeds on misogyny
I worry -
Will anyone ever fancy me?
Emitting excessive carbon dioxide
We overhear yet choose to hide
Can’t utter the word genocide.
I’m terrified.
Never mind the political divide
I'm only spiralling as my job's rather boring and public speaking is frightening.
Also, the US’s worryingly embarrassing
Ukraine can’t seem to win and Yemen’s endlessly starving
It’s wildly concerning -
the acne growing on my skin.
As for my third country, we defy regularly
the French are praised for protesting
‘Collective dispute for systemic integrity.’
It all sounds empowering -
but I gained 10 kilos and it’s dismorphing.

Some claim I’m rather edgy
They look up to my serenity
Idealise my brain capacity -
I’m often told I’m pretty
And I won’t make a scene,
disproportionally adjust to your screen
ask about you despite me,
I’ll hug you without editing
Oddly lonely for the time being.
See you in another film -
Your eyes intimidate me
You don’t seem to need any
The script's too good for me.
