Because I am

Monster by Lady Gaga plays in the background

Was I winked at because I am

because I am and he isn’t I wonder if

That boy is a monster

my song is on and

I move unable to stop thinking

M-m-m-monster

likes the way I dance because I am

the way my hair is done because I am

likes the way

I shoot jägerbombs after a

blue lucozade in the alleyway

because I am

wondering

if he and I

would just be predictable poetry

He’s a wolf in disguise

Because I hear they like slim-built

boys, smooth and submissive with

almond-shaped eyes

But do I pick at these things because

I am, is it okay to think like this

because I am, because

He ate my heart and then he ate my brain

because at times

I feel like a monster for dissecting what I am.
