in the forest he met his misfortune  
in the shape of a boy so fair  
he had shy blue eyes and a lying tongue  
and flowers in his long dark hair  

he traced his scars  
and kissed his head  
and promised he'd never leave  

but when he woke  
the boy was gone  
oh how could he be so naive  

in a daze of frustration he scratched at his skin  
not pretty not perfect  
alone  

he started to bleed as tears fell from his eyes  
fading, fading  
gone

I want to be the boy inside my head
Do I starve myself and hope that things will mould into place?
That the curves and bumps that don’t fit will disappear?
Am I strong enough to tell my family?
Never

I want to be the boy inside my head
But would daddy still love me if he were here?
A different name
A different person
Please

I want to be the boy inside my head
Why couldn't I have been born as him?
No one could want someone like me
I have no place on an earth like this
Worthless

I want to be the boy inside my head
