i live inside a cage
a cage of flesh and blood
it suffocates me, yet i need it to breathe
do you think, if i asked really nicely, that i could
keep the lungs, but exchange the thick for thin?
keep the organs, but return the rest?
maybe put my brain and heart
into somebody else
someone prettier
someone skinnier
someone better than me.
everyone around me, all uniquely bland
each in a different font, but the same copy/paste
i see them all around me, carrying themselves so lightly
like they could get carried away by a gust of wind
i could never even imagine the feeling of it
but these "curves" i have, so lusted after
are the very cause of my hatred
for this cage of mine
