once upon a time
a boy lived in a castle
and someone was trying to climb
up to rescue him
but he fears that’s not enough
because he was stuck
stuck in the muck
of a very dysphoric rut
he didn’t want to be stuck
but he thinks
it’s just his own bad luck
he was born
without holding a freakin’ blue truck
he built the castle to protect
from the others that will disrespect
that’s not correct
but it’s what he expects
he hopes people will understand
that he’s a real boy
and this wasn’t planned
this "change" is for him
and not for anyone else in the land
maybe when the someone gets up here
he might be able to tell them about all his thoughts
and make it all clear
maybe, hopefully,
in the new year
