Don’t look at me

(tw: dysphoria)
——————————

Living in a daydream

Wear my hoodie all the time

Pretend I’m not dying

Of heat

Butterscotch sunbeams

Because I don’t want you to look at me

Kind of

The person I am with my shirt off

Is not the person I want to be

It makes me uncomfortable

Being me

Sometimes

A lot of the time

Don’t make me go outside

Please

If strangers don’t see me

That would be okay

Because they see me from the wrong angle

More often than not

And it hurts

Just a little

Call me by my real name

Or shut up

Leave me alone

They get it wrong too much

Or don’t know what to do

About me

So I wear my hoodies all the time

Gorgeous butterscotch sunbeams

Pretend like it’s okay

To hurt a little

To overheat

Don’t look at me

Please

I don’t like the me you think you know
