---

forced in a cell

created from flesh

embodied in someone else's skin

this body, isn't mine

my soul is trapped

in someone else's body

every time I loom in the mirror

I can't recognise myself

this dysphoria

has got me on my knees

gender dysphoria

suicidal euphoria

my guardian angel has protected me for so long

but now it is my time to go

once I die I shall be free

from this imprisonment

free from captivity

as each urge arise

hope becomes invisible

until the day

I find gender euphoria

through suicide

I will linger

with the fabrics of time

waiting and waiting

for my time to come

to be released from this fleshy cage
