how could it ever be enough

this lump of bones and skin

that carries me through

while it is worn so thin

a body that couldn't be

the home that i needed

the flesh that failed me

while my mind pleaded

and here i ask you as foe

could you carry my soul

finally let who i was go

to see me as a whole

look, i am on my knees

and angry that i should

beg for a word that frees

like none other ever could

acceptance, from you

would carry more weight

far more than you knew

so let this moment be fate
