Hungry theif
I am starving to feast on being seen as a real man
To sink my teeth into the flesh of being masculine enough for anyone but I’ll never know if I can
This bottomless pit is never happy with what’s given but I don’t think it’s that, it’s what It feels within
I’m a sheep in wolfs clothing as I tear through a bumpy chest, a body that doesn’t belong to the owner, I desperately want to disown her
The body I’ve stolen from her, one I know I could never repay wherever.
