I would emotionally lay tracks
to even remotely resemble
my mannerisms to yours
if I thought for even a moment
it would aid me in my quest
without looking like my intentions were forced
so very deep within myself doubt(s)
I am uncharacteristically caught
it's so hard to recall what was known
from the very beginning
from what was merely taught
with myself I constantly do battle
with demons that only wish to further understand
when then can I feel whole and or complete without
making some unjustifiable stand
am I so abnormal for wanting a man who wants me just
as I am
fat or thin
forever
am I to be
trapped
in such a joyless jam...............
