i want to put it all
down on the page for you
i want you to understand
what i'm thinking and feeling
i want you to understand where i'm at
i want to construct
to tear away
to love 
to hate
myself
i can see the world in so many colors
i see the honesty in its beauty
i also see the falacy
i see the fakeness in your eyes
i see the plastic, the pretend
and i can learn to love that too
but the coldness in your heart
is what brings me to my knees
and makes me sob, scream, tear at the sky
howling at the moon like some crazed drunken animal
i really want to love you
but it's so hard when i don't even know myself yet
when the mirror changes weekly
i'm lost in a plastic universe
i can't seem to break free
i'm aching for something real
i'm screaming for you to hear my cries
i'm drowning in a sea of
barbiekenkippypunknerdlesbianbisexualstraight
labalactiviststudentworkerwomynlabellabellabel
label me
stamp me
put me in your folder with a sticker
marked with love
and then i will have reached my full potential
