I am scared of the inevitability Of dying without reaching my full potential Can't be the only one who feels this way (empty and unfulfilled) Making hindering mistakes, from day to day The deliberation of negativity and consequence Has led to a transition that's brought me to this pretense I don't want to die alone Fearful of rejection, I am pained by my reflection In the mirror, I try to force something more (Just can't seem to shake it) I am at war with myself I can't be happy being me This won't last forever It won't last Being born into a world filled with oppression And undignified destruction, believing I'll amount To nothing But that has to change I have come to a realisation That I am beautiful And that I am worth fighting for And I will not let people filled with unjustified judgement and hate Destroy the thing that surely makes me beautiful And I promise I swear I will scream, I will scream until my face is numb and my lungs are bare Because in the end, I am me I'm not worthless I am fucking worthy I'm not worthless I am myself And I will never change And I can never change
