what a life

✔️

By pjPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

no one is going to love you like you

the first time was the only time

my mirror was broken in three places

the first was denial

no no no

that is not me

unrecognised

unrecognisable

i was confused

how could i have been placed as this person in this body ?

confused that i could not change

this is not who i was meant to be

but i would be stuck like this forever ?

i have always refused to dis believe that

but from birth to death i am shackled

to this body i am forced to call my home
