do you see a flicker
in the sky
the stars twinkle
wish everyone was mine
my eyes feel tickled

i'm sick of loving
for the sake of existing
the pain they keep shoving
in the end your hurt was sexist

why am i here
when i can't be
who i want to be?
can you hear?

why bother
when all your emotions
are smothered
felt like soft lotion
outpoured, but just cannon fodder

they say it ain't a movie scenario
but all your feelings
chewed down like cheerios -
were a fucking circus show to them

i don't even want to be lucky
to find something i didn't look for
i just want to live without harm
so i could make sense of what i am
