When confronted I freeze
mind completely blank
black screen
when I am mad but small
I feel myself swallow words down
make myself invisible
pleasant yet unremarkable
what do I have but my looks?
everything
if I'd but let it out
I scream for it
  crave it
  am terrified of it
  fight it
  fight for it
  shove it back down
  swallow it
  blurt it out
  don't stand by it
I'll figure out how to let my
freak flag fly
