A Girl Trying to Catch Sight of Herself

she is looking eagerly for guides, maps, possibilities.

"

The day my ribcage became monkey bars

For a girl hanging on my every word

They said “you are not allowed to love her”

Tried to take me by the throat

And teach me I was not a boy

I had to unlearn their prison speak

"
