Gender Questioning Most of this is a coping mechanism / I’m really bad at writing so I’m sorry / “I write because no one listens”
Broken bones from all the yelling Trinkets to shut me up They say they want us to talk But when we do it’s the same answer Stop being so emotional It’s hormones They Learn the things we hide away just to leave it No mater who tells them I started fearing the sun Warmer it gets the closer I get Shorts turn into punishment I use to love swimming Just because of the feeling of being underwater It felt like dying Peace and fear all together But now it’s been ripped away Taken by the fear of skin The thing that I thought helped me Has turned to tally marks of all the reasons I can’t I live off Diet Coke That sounds like a joke from afar Till you turn the can around I live by fear It’s comforted me with all the things I never did All the things I wish I hadn’t said Shards of the mirror stick out of me Glazed with the blood of a coward Numbers carved in my eyes Telling me yelling at me You will never be enough So why stay So why do I stay Because I’m a coward Because I’m afraid Because fear is my only friend

Heliophobia
Look out the window see a world better than this make a better me forget what I feel Numbness as a product of fantasy The wings on my back A toll of death One no will egnoage My best friend a ghost to the outside world the people who truly understand me float until you drown look out at the lights the voices of those we have lost Ones stuck in their own head just like me

"Daydreamer"
I look in the mirror and someone else stars back Scared of change but here we are standing in the middle of the void Hair dye to fix my problems The name that I'm to scared to reqest because I look nothing like it I cant see myself but then wasnt I always blind Im trapped inside this body who am I will I ever beable to ansewr that One step is all it would take and yet fear holds me back
