I no longer fit.
Every title
Every category
you’ve ever given me
no longer applies
by your terms.
In the same breath
to cross my lips
would be
thank you fuck you
It’s been exhausting to
Please
Defy
You –
much is met with indifference
Horror
Admiration
I shrank to meet your comfort
I bloomed for your
Entertainment
I died a thousand times
To be remade in desired image
Ignored
Bled dry
Imprisoned by Worship
Impaled by disdain
I no longer fit
I will grow
I will learn
Defined
by my own Terms
