The Words She Uses To Hurt Me

A full grown woman in my thirties
It’s something I never wanted to be
It smacks of decay and ingenuity
And they want me to confirm their lies
But growing up means your spirit dies
If you conform to identity
And let them make a role of me
And she shouts me down
So I start to drown
In all they don’t want me to know
They scream to just let him go
But how do they not see
He and I are one eternally
Somewhere in a field afar
We are joined underneath a star
And we may never be a heteronormative pair
He’s restrictive and I don’t care
About the might he threatens to unleash
I could always sense the beast
That hid beneath the calm facade
And this is not about making you feel bad
It’s about trying to express the truth of my soul
But they just smack me til my eyes roll
And I pull myself out of that shit
They’re not the cycle I’m spinning with
