How can you not see,
The true feelings deep in me.
The hard ache of hiding,
It's still not subsiding.
Lying to myself
"Just put the thoughts on a shelf."
Please stop pretending that you can't tell,
Long ago from that high horse I fell.
I'm sorry it didn't work
But I now you know.
And I can't stand to mask it anymore
I'm not a girl.
I am not Branwen.
I'm somewhere in-between
And I know that I am Bee
Revenge is bittersweet
A cozy sword in my heart
I'm over that disaster
Yet we're not apart
A creature in the corner
Encroaching in my space
I've held many creatures
Void of life
But it's never as hard
As when it's your own
No pulse, no
Breathing
Just an empty
Shell that once was
"Oh little girl,"
They say with distain
Usually followed by a suggestion on how to change myself
But I don't want to change
"Oh little girl,"
With tears in their eyes
