school is the cage to my self-consciousness
I'm sure that everyone in the hallway
is analyzing my personality
I'm sure to **** in my stomach
so much that it makes my back sting
no, I have not lost weight
I've just found new ways to hide it
I'm sure that the hair on my fingers
is as long as the hair on my head
and that my voice is masculine
but not enough to be heard
and as I scrawl this on my math sheet
my hands shake
with the worry that someone will read this
a wind of confidence pulls me down the hallway
but the ship is full of mice
don't tell anyone
but I'm scared as hell
