I’ll never be apart of your ways,
I’ll never be able to be carry a family on my back
Because I’m not a real man, right?
That’s what you keep saying to me.
You never wanted me to dress up in long dresses or long skirts, comfortable was ugly
I was ugly
Now that you want to show me your “affection”
My long hidden dysphoria is disgusting you
And you say we’ll not let it destroy us
And all the while you
Just keep putting me down
Like my identity is a cruel joke
The dysmorphia fall out of our wasteland past,
You can’t just say that because the atoms are burnt out
That now
We can breathe this toxic air,
Your love conditional,
Extremely conditional,
You won’t let me breathe even when I try to feel free
