My Pain
My Pain
When I picture pain, I don’t see needles or guns
No misery there, just relief with the belief
That maybe things will get easier.
But things won’t.
And I know this.
No, my pain not being good enough, not being Candace
I have to do what she does
As good as she does
Or else I’m no good.
Everything I do is a failure.
And I know this.
I try so hard to discard
My true identity
Finding no amenity
Just the obscenity
Of the idea that I am no longer me.
I can’t be her.
So I can’t be anything.
And I know this.
