Pinocchio

I want to be a real boy

not a lying decoy

wooden girl doll

a little too tall

lack of hips

couple snips

to get the hair

that I can bear

as mason jay

things’d be okay

Your retreating back
reminds me what I lack
Your departure an attack
that makes my heart crack

Why’d you have to go
That’s what I want to know
You got me feeling real low
Putting on a show

Did I do it wrong
Was it me all along
My heart’s singing the song
Beating like king kong

I’m just not enough
For you it was too tough
To deal with me was just rough
You left in a huff

Now I am alone
The seed of doubt is sown
The final bell sounds its tone
My sad heart you own

Nothing’s right
All is wrong
Why’d it take so long
to see the light

It’s hard to see
who i am
All a sham
against me

Life’s too hard
at times
to make rhymes
Be on your guard

You’re coming derailed
cause you’re all messed
And life’s one big test
that you have failed

boy or girl
that’s what defines
tells you which
of the bathroom lines

ladies first
men are last
why is this
how we’re classed

does it matter
I think not
must be the mad hatter
for my crazy thoughts

can’t we all
just be the same
must we play
the gender game

I’m a puzzle piece
you don’t quite know
just where I go

Where do I fit?
that’s a hard question
did I mention

I’m the piece
that is all wrong
that never belonged

I’m from a different puzzle
and yet you try
to find where I

fit, you tell me
but I can’t
not meant to be

not even a hammer
can pound me in
throw me in the misfit bin

‘cause I don’t fit

knife on skin
                let’s begin

dwelling on
   past
                present
                               Future

this broken heart

does need a suture

I am not the only one
for whom hell has just begun
shouldn't it wait until you die
for me it's here, making me cry

demons tearing at my skin
now the dark begins to win
I am weak and helpless
not a person, just a mess

I can't fight them off.
they're making me cough,
filling my lungs with black matter
making me climb the death ladder

I can hear the death bell
ringing out its final knell
all it takes is a jump
now my throat has a lump

take the leap, no regret
now all things I'll forget
I'm hurtling through space
'cause I don't fit in anyplace

— The End —
