my problem

Lets see

The problem with me

Are my bones

And my chest

just to add, my shoulders

Make me feel like a mess.

 

My voice doesn't sound like mine at all

And I wish I could be a bit more tall

The look of my face

makes me want to scratch it off,

- you mean to tell me that's not everyone's thoughts.

 

I can't quite find the right words to pick

But I know this body makes me sick

Dysphoria isn't just a game, I feel

how I can look at it without having to kneel

not even my hands are right for me

Sometimes this body, I can't even see

 

so i take a blade and cut my skin

Till blood comes out, makes my head spin

At least that way I can gain some control

Over my pain - not over my soul

 

My soul doesn't fit this body I'm in

Maybe if I'd get rid or grew out of this skin

take a new form of something else

I would, even if it ment going to hell

 

I know everyone feels unwell at times

But I feel like im fighting my own suicide

Not just today or the day before

I feel like this at my very core

 

Not being born at all would have been a greater joy,

But if I were to choose, I'd choose to be born a boy.
