Could you most certainly deny it?

If the bottom is your top

And always has been there

You’d be of this case unaware

And so not troubled by it



And if your head ached since you were born

Would you be able to feel it?

And since your birth same clothes you’ve worn

Would you regard them as your skin

And if a blade cut in

Could your body heal it?



I lived alone since I learned to think

And never was I loved by you

My life’s my head ache and my mink

I never knew another

Why then should I bother?

But I am scared I do.
