When I was created
I was a glitch in the system
That man in the sky is cruel
He looked at my lifeless body
When it was being developed
And frowned
He knew I was destined for pain
So he didn't waste his time on me
He said:
"Here kid,
Have some mental disorders
Have a fucked up family life
Oh and here's some ugly
And have some permanent bad luck
Just for fun how abooouuut ...
You're born in the wrong body?
Yes, perfect.
Now run along little error
Get ready to fall apart
Get ready to have your whole soul
S H A T T E R E D "
That was my destiny made for me
Then I was cast down to earth
And so it began
I was born a boy in a girls body
It's a nightmare to stare in the mirror
It's a nightmare to be behind in life
Because I have to wait for hormones
And surgeries
It's a nightmare to be un-excepted
For something you cannot control
I want to rip my skin apart sometimes
Through school I was severely bullied
Misunderstood
Made an outcast
Never fitting in
At home I was verbally
And sexually abused
Inside myself is a storm
Raging on and on
I tried to end it all
But I failed
Yesterday marked one year after
Swallowing pills
And yesterday
I fell back into my demons arms
Begging to be held
And loved
Begging to be shown the way again
So today my demons delivered
Upon getting off the bus for school
They danced around my head
"Keep your head down" they said
And so I did
"Remain invisible, that way
You won't get hurt" they whispered
I told them "okay" and thanked them
Now I'm sitting here
I know I have to do work
But I'm lacking motivation these days
Even getting out of bed is hard
Opening my eyes is hard
I'm a literal human error
And I've accepted it now
I'm giving up on people
Because all my life
I've approached people to be friends
I've always talked first
Goes to show that I'm unwanted
And I accept that too
I accept everything I am
Because there's no point in fighting
Not anymore
And don't think I'm about to
Swallow pills again, I won't
But I do think
I should've died last year
I've realized that
When you're stranded in the ocean
With nothing to grab onto
With salt burning your lungs and eyes
And waves beating you down
And thunderstorms screaming at you
Sometimes it's easier to sink
Than it is to swim
So I'm done
I'm done trying to be loved
Or cared about
I'm done fighting to mean something
Because I don't
And I won't
And I can't
It's just how it is
That's just how it goes
I'm done
