Imposter

/

Every time, next to a guy

A human that wants to get to know my insides

I feel as an imposter

There’s no way they want to be inside

Me this human, and him this guy

But then they’re inside

And still I know deeply they don’t want to be in me

They just want the warm and tight and wet

But not the inside

Not the real inside

And we lay and pretend

To bare our insides

But are just holding onto something of their outside

It’s impossible to think you’d want what’s inside

I’m an imposter to you as I pretend to bare my insides

I moan and flail and groan

But

My insides are still

And watching this debacle I’m in

Watching the imposter I am

And safeguarding the inside
