will i ever be
more than
this body?

will i ever be
wanted for
more
than just this?

this body i hate
but it's what makes
others want me
love me
wanna fuck me

it's all i am
i can't escape it

i don't want to be this body.

do you think i'm more?
do you think it's even possible,
to be more than just
our physicality?
do you think i'm handsome, truly,
or do you just like
that my body doesn't match what i am?

what do you think when you look at me?
truly, even if it hurts i want to know
i want to know what goes through your mind
when you think of loving someone like me
someone whose body
is his own ruination
