Can you hear me?
Are you listening?
Good.
I just need to say thank you
Impossibly high social standards,
Cookie cutter people
Who try to force me
Into a cookie cutter shape -
A simple square,
Society asks me with mics and similing faces,
"who are you?"
I scream to the clouds my identity,
and once I finish expressing my truth,
they reply with a grin and say...
"no...fresh meat".
