Sometimes, I dare ask
the question of
how do people feel
at home in their body

Don't they hate the flaws
peeking underneath skins
—staining what's supposed
to be the purest thing around?

Sometimes, I dare ask
myself what is it
that I hate so much
about the way I'm built

Are these the fears caging me
—the nagging voices in my head
screaming I'm never going
to be enough?

Sometimes, I dare ask
the time it would take
for me to see myself
in the same light
as people do

Will I see a glorious person
—shining in an earnest glow—
living the best they can
being someone who
they're supposed to be?

Sometimes, I dare ask
but the wind has been
a quiet draft inside my head
Sometimes, I dare ask
for a small prayer
that would somehow
carry me to the end
