I / Me / Myself - Will Wood

I’ve been feeling lightheaded since I lost enough weight to fit back in my skin

Flower petals and feathers tether me to the ground.

Pound for pound

Take my tea with formaldehyde for my feminine side since the day that I died

While I whittle my bones until I’m brittle.

Am I pretty now?

For some reason I find myself lost in what you think of me

And too confused to choose who I should be.

And now you’ve got me thinking

I wish I could be a girl, and that way you’d wish I could be your girlfriend,

boyfriend

Am I pretty enough to lie to?

I wish I could be a girl, and that way you’d wish I could be your girlfriend,

boyfriend

Just little old me in a big, big world.

Little old me in a big world.

I wish I were a girl

I’ve been feeling lighthearted since I gained enough weight back to cover my

bones

I get dressed up in shadows one leg at a time — we’re so alike

But if the shoe fits, then I won’t try it on.

You’ll be walking out early,

but the show must go on

No, I know that I’m wrong.

But I love how you’re on my side when I cross the

line

It’s been a point of contention between myself and this body that they stuck me

in

The privilege of being born to be a man.

And now you got me thinking

I wish I could be a girl, and that way you’d wish I could be your girlfriend,

boyfriend

Am I pretty enough to lie to?

I wish I could be a girl, and that way you’d wish I could be your girlfriend,

boyfriend

Just little old me in a big, big world.

Little old me in a big world.

I wish

Eating your prosthetic meat/meet your anesthetic criteria, pathetic seeing you

become acetic

Say my name like a slur, but I’ve been called worse.

I’ve heard it all before,

and this isn’t a first

Let me be the void you fill with taxidermy fingerprints, taxonomize our

differences

I am quantum physics, my witness brings me into existence

I wish I could be a girl, and that way you’d wish I could be your girlfriend,

boyfriend

Am I pretty enough to love back?

No, not yet

I wish I could be a girl, and really I’d prefer it if you would use I/Me/Myself

Am I pretty enough?

Am I pretty enough to fucking die?

Little old me in a big world?

Well I would give you my whole world.

Little old me in a big world.

I wish

All identities are equally invalid.

Don’t you think that there’s a chance that

you could live without it?
