Token Broken

Token Broken


it's raining

been talkin bout my parts

today I'm

choking on brittle hearts


And all I need is a moment

a moment to breathe

maybe to feel

instead I've got a poem

a moment to seethe

'cause I'm not real


I've lived my life in drag

never a mirror

just another... flag

is anyone here


I can't see

I can't breathe

I can't be


your broken token

again

visceral entropy

within

you want inside of me


when strangled

I don't know who to tell

entangled

I dragged me back from hell


And all I need is compliance

a scrap of your time

maybe your mind

instead I've got this silence

a waste of my rhyme

No, I'm not fine


I've lived my life confused

never a mirror

always lost and abused

is anyone here


I can't see

I can't breathe

I can't be


your broken token

again

a break from your ennui

within

you want inside of me


You can't

I can't

You can't

I can't

be here


a moment to breathe

maybe to feel

a moment to seethe

'cause I'm not real


I'm not
