Enough—!
I think I’m done with periods now
Maybe some spotting
Later
You know,
When the
Endometriosis kicks in
Fuckin’
Why’d I do this, again?
Right!
I’m supposedly a man.
I think so, I’ve got the
Entitlement for it.
Fair enough, right buddy?
Hahah ok enough
ENOUGH
god I hate that word
The dismissal of a lifetime
When I was a child, it was
“Enough!!!”
Now that I’m grown I am
Never enough
Always needs improvement
I worry this will transfer
Straight into my transition
A never ending monsoon of
Disappointment blended with
Curdling ambition
To be a man without any
Preposition
A woman who took her own room
And complained until she
Changed her name,
Moved,
Tried again.
Why the fuck would I try
Something this insane?
Who am I fooling?
Not me
I literally referred to it as
“My experiment”, today
I have zero intention of
Stopping any of this
I just think of it as an experiment
Anyway.
Why?
I couldn’t really say
I think about almost everything this way
Life is an experiment
I’ve been taking notes
While you all have been
Prattling on about nonsense,
Competing over who’s thin
And who’s pretty
I just take notes
Record the nitty gritty
I’ve known that eventually
I will need to defend myself
In my entirety
I am not enough, you see
None of us are
Enough is too final for anyone
Death is enough, I guess
Lame, not even
My death
Will be enough
I need to have a legacy
To even feel properly free
This lifetime is not enough for me
I need four, five,
A million and a few hundred thousand
Centuries
Immortality?
I would rather be a
God, crafting the fabric
Of what you can be
Control-freak?
Bitch, please
The form of thought
Is what I aspire to be
A cloud, condensing
Forming a dense thickness
Clouding my judgement
Separating me
I can’t tell
If I’m the dumbest person on the earth
Or if I’m just
The opposite
Enough of this, demons
Let me be
Why am I stuck
In a filter of grime
Slithering from place to place
A disgrace, not enough
Never enough
Striving, dying
Failing enough
Enough to be considered
A man of great sacrifice
I guess that title
Will suffice
