Tape

Tape

Tape
Im taping the cracks in myself
Because I'm supposed to be
Perfect
The perfect girl
But I'm not perfect to them
They tell me to get a guy
Thing is, I like girls
That's not "perfect"
They say "Emma, why don't you wear dresses?"
I don't like them. 
That's not "perfect"
I look at my chest and think
"That's not perfect"
Because I'm the perfect girl
But I'm not even a girl.
That's not perfect either.
So I tape all the cracks closed
Ignoring that I am perfect
To me

Do I say?
That would only ruin the day?
I'm caught in a snare...

As I stand at the graveside
of an unknown poet
overgrown are the weeds
