Moist cement leads to broken metal doors which hold in the pungent scent of the orange air fresheners Click, ding, swoosh Everyone rushes in to pretend they have a purpose Broken earbuds serve me no purpose other than the universal sign of "leave me the **** alone" Leather wrapped around foam in neat rows Lined by green tint And topped with arches of metal I squeeze into the last bit of routine and look out into the green tinted world My reflection stares back, judging me I pretend to ignore him, but she demands attention They get a firm grip on my hair and tear me from my leather ******* She tells me that there is no hope for the one I pretend to love He says she has no doubt in their soul that I'm making things worse I'm suddenly sitting in a metal chair I feel bound to it, but I'm not She does it for attention He has the option to get up, but they stay to hear the truth she has to tell They do it for attention You are doing this to ourselves We can get up from this chair but he doesn't let yourself We do it for attention She feels the chair get hot where he sits They know he can get up but she feels he deserves this pain He are not bound We is not bound They were not bound She won't be bound He must be doing this for attention Attention from whom They hid her chair for as long as he possibly could She lied saying he was cold...in June He made jokes when she couldn't come up with excuses She didn't do this for attention He sat in the seat because it is her fault They can get up at anytime But I don't

I wrote this to (hopefully) be relatable to both people with gender identity confusion and MPD.
