A Poem About Being A Man

it's because I listened to hozier isn't it

I can see the bodies of greek gods reflect in your eyes when you're looking at me

telling me soft and gentle lies.

I could cry at the rubble of a fallen empire

choking on the dust of men who have left me in the dust—

I could never be the boy you dreamed of

and I wish I could tear the skin off my bones 

to be born your favorite.

If the universe swears I'm a man,

then why must I rip myself apart to fit the sighs of those who love them?
