Whenever I look in the mirror,
I see Frankenstein’s Monster.
Where am I ?
Dissociated somewhere,
but hell,
even I couldn’t tell you where.
My eyes are no window to the soul
because my human vessel lost it’s soul
a long time ago
I found it,
shattered in the depths of my mind
in so many pieces,
I can never be whole again.
But is that what I want? Or
what society wants me to do?
to pass as a human,
to pass as a man.
Is that who I truly am?
So caught in the webs of preconceived
notions I’ve been fed all my life:
You are not a boy.
You will never be a real man
Well, **** you!
I am untangling myself from this web,
leaving the toxicity behind,
surrounding myself with
the sunshine I deserve.
You can judge me all you want
Just know;
I am the one who is truly free.
