she

Franklin Lassen

there will always be
a little part of me
that is a she
i've never fully 
detached myself 
from the past nor
did i 
ever want to i
never wanted 
to come out i 
never wanted things
to change if they could 
have stayed the same don't 
you think i 
would have
wanted that? who 
wants to re
invent them
selves at four
teen who 
wants to be
a teen
at all a new
one be a teen when 
you were never
even a child i'll
always feel
robbed dis
jointed like i 
skipped two 
grades and now
i'm just try
ing to go back
