Self-Conscious
my mom would always tell me
imagine a string behind your back
pulling you up,
so now when i slouch i think of her
and all she’s told me ive ignored
when i was young and growing up
my brother would always say
when i looked gay
so when i saw an attractive guy
id pray and say its just a phase
my first lover told me
i stabbed her in the back
i held the knife as we got close
and waited to attack
and when i broke up
you said, ill never love again
so now before i look for more
i second guess my ends
