rag doll
always been someone else's pretty young thing
sittin' limp in the corner not sayin' much but
poor poor me poor poor me poor poor me
your eyes perked up at the sight of salvation
in the form of a genderless shaped silhouette
promising in black to treat you different
went about your life talkin' talkin' talkin' thinkin'
you're the only one who's ever been done wrong
cause there ain't nobody had a life like yours
now you hide as the one holding up the umbrella
the suburban white girl throwing her support
to all the under-represented gender switchers
but that one you been calling yours is foolin'
you been recognized as an unsuspecting rag doll
a play thing in a game with life and death as stakes
gone from been done wrong to doin' wrong
nothin' I say right now can equal my hatred my rage
at your dis-fucking-respect and laughs in my face
flashin' a smile too bright for all the whining you do
those teeth in your mouth are just bony defenses
close your mouth you're makin' an ass of yourself
you can stop your sad attempts at recognition now
I am one of the ignored who's studied the art of ignoring
watch my stone-firm face give you nothing but...
nothing.
