notes

take note of everything I say

my feelings are rooted in symbolism and poetry

my femininity washes over me

and a guilty realization sets in

I get to play both parts in my head

man and woman

narrator and character, building a story book around me

tweaking the others roles as much as I can

deluding them, holding them up to expectations they don't and can't meet

I create characters of everyone I know

and then I piece them into myself

I steal motifs and emotions from everyone else

and become the patchwork puzzle held together by pink glitter glue
