I'm scared of failure not in the way you may expect where I sit studying for hours my head always resting in a book a blanket made of revision notes I'm scared of failure that I'll never get on the stage with lights blinding me and people gazes lingering on me performing for many I'm scared I'll never be a real drag queen I'll never have people pay to see me I'll never achieve anything if I don't achieve what my heart most wants to be dressed up in fake eyelashes and a wig

Art
A pity I can not believe, A shame I'm such a *** The only thing I've ever loved was being in drag There is no hope of love for me from this point I'll go stag The only thing I've ever loved was myself in drag Myself in drag Myself in drag Myself in drag, yeah I don't know why I even tried, it's not really my bag Just thought it would be funny to see myself in drag The moment I put on makeup my tail began to wag Wag like a ****** dog for myself in drag Myself in drag Myself in drag Myself in drag, yeah I've always been quite boring and so I can't even brag But I'd do anything to keep myself in drag I'd sign away my trust fund, I would even sell the Jag If I could spend my misspent youth as myself in drag Myself in drag Myself in drag Myself in drag, yeah So stick me in a dress and, I'm the one you want to **** The only thing I've ever loved was myself in drag I'll never be that girl again, I did it as a gag I'll pine away forevermore for myself in drag

Rewriting Andrew In drag to Myself in drag
I put on my heels, tights and dress after my makeup is done my eyebrows drawn on nothing you see is natural and yet it's still me the timid girl shy and sweet is how they know me at school yet when I get home the drag spirits posses me and I can be loud, courageous and free no me is truer than another they can coexist in harmony

Drag
Years and years ago, when I was but your age I had a friend who hated herself more than anyone else ever could she needed no nemesis, arch or otherwise cause she was her own villain and a flood of tears couldn't wash away her evil instead she tried to bleed them out cutting scars on her arm hoping the right drop of blood would purge her of the poisons yet soon her arm grew tired of the constant harassment she was too scared to stop to live with the bad thoughts everyday and night, sitting on her windowsill she contemplated the height would it be enough to cause her end of would only injuries follow, injuries she'd have to explain she didn't jump that day, not because life was suddenly worth living or because she's learned happyness it was due to her inability to express the sadness inside that she stayed alive I'm very good friends with her now she'll twist my arm and tell me she's beautiful and I'll agree cause that girl was no friend, she was me.

A tale of warning
if we all shout loud enough then those who quietly scheme can whisper in peace yet if we all whisper they shout their lies till we can no longer hear eachother

Whisper or Shout
I would hug me, in seconds flat my arms would be wrapped around her scarred ones, I'd feel the fresh blood and the ageing scars then tend to the wounds, the way she never allowed herself to I would sit on the floor with her, and watch her scribble in her notebook the poems of hatred and sadness she never knew the power her words could have on someone as small as her self

A minute with my younger self
3 years feels so long ago I remember a year ago I was devastated disappointed in who I was who it was possible for me to be I remember two years ago I was overjoyed happy as can be proud of what I made it through I remember three years ago I sat crying on my bed wishing I could be anyone else cause I hated my self so much that I couldn't bear another day trapped in this body with chubby arms, a big stomach, fat cheeks, acne resting on my face I hated my capacity to hate me, to despise who I was it took 1096 days for me to choose love over hate, or 1578240 minutes to right the wrongs I did to my skin or 94694400 seconds for me to be happy again, and it was worth every painful milli second of it

time passes
the light fades my responsibilities dissipating blowing away in the high wind darkness consumes me until all I know is the waft of your cedar cologne Inside the coffin your lingering stare no longer burns my skin soil falls on me from the heavens the boom louder than your cries of ***** your angry that the funeral dress you chose is too revealing, in death I should not care for your opinions, my ghost should haunt you, instead your voice will not leave me alone
