Starved

A Poem

Starved

Starved of affection

Lacking in any direction

A reflection I’ve never recognized

Bleeding from my inner eye

Better to be between a set of thighs

Than to drop my disguise

Surrounded by half truths

And whole lies

Just trying to make it out of life alive

    No one makes it out of life alive, tautologically speaking. But I, too, would prefer to be between a pair of thighs.

    Not sure you'll succeed in that last point 🤔 😁
