Self-Portrait

I’ve never been at sea
I’ve never really liked being me
I’ve never been afraid to die
I’ve never believed in an afterlife
i’ve never seen a ghost
I’ve never felt the presence of a god
i’ve never ever prayed
I’ve never believed in Santa Claus
But I’ve held Annette in my arms
And I’ve licked beads of sweat off of her skin
I’ve never shot a deer
I’ve never even held a gun
I’ve never been in a fist fight
I’ve never pretended to be a man
I’ve never wanted kids
I’ve never owned a cat or a dog
I’ve never been afraid to die alone
I’ve always known I’d die by my own hand
But I’ve held Annette in my arms
And I’ve licked beads of sweat off of her skin
Yea, I’ve held Annette in my arms
And I’ve licked beads of sweat off of her skin
And I’ve tasted all of her juices
I’ve been inside of her
She’s been inside of me

Undressing For You
04:47

When I undress and remove my makeup
I always tremble with fear
Do you still want me
Now that you’ve seen me
Without my clothes and makeup on
Look at my body
My skinny body
This pale skin
Haven’t seen sunlight in years
Look at my fifty seven scars
Some of them white,
Some of them pink
And some of them red
Some of them are big
And Some of them small
But I am so fucking
ashamed of them all
Do you still want me
Now that you’ve seen me
Without my clothes and makeup on
Look at my crouch
As I remove the tape
Untucking my penis
My tiny penis
Does it disgust you
Does it amuse you
Please don’t laugh at me
Please don’t laugh
Like thee others do
Please, baby, don’t laugh at my dick
I am so fucking ashamed of its size
I am ashamed that it’s even there at all
Do you still want me
Now that you’ve seen me
Without my clothes and makeup on
When I undress and remove my makeup
I always tremble with fear

Grandmother Willow
03:41

|
When I was a child
My mother asked me
What I wanted to be
when I grew up
I answered that
I’d like to be a tree
Like Grandmother Willow
I still like the idea
of being a tree
Instead of being
a human like me
In the blue
hour of morning
I watch the veins
under my skin
They sort of look like
Naked tree branches
And they are the most
beautiful part of my body
I still like the idea
of being a tree
Instead of being
a human like me

Something In Between

girl, i’d love to be beautiful like you
yea, i wish i looked exactly like you do
I adore your voice
I adore your face
i am not a girl
and i’m not a boy
i’m something in between
i’m everything and nothing
girl, i’d love to fuck you
and i’d love to be fucked by you
i am not a girl
and i’m not a boy
i’m something in between
i’m everything and nothing
Please hold me so close that I forget
This prison that I was born into
Please hold me so close that I forget
everything, but you
i am not a girl
and i’m not a boy
i’m something in between
i’m everything and nothing

May Day

Today, my doors are looked
My phone turned off
My curtains closed
There’s nothing out there for me
I don’t want to hear
I don’t want to see
I lay down on the floor
With a bottle of gin
If you knock on my door
I’ll pretend not to be in
I’ve got no words to say
It’s just one of those days today
I want to shed my skin
And forget all that I’ve been
I lay down on the floor
With a bottle of gin
If you knock on my door
I’ll pretend not to be in
