Changing My Name To Josephine

Every angle of thought that I provoke is brought down by negativity.

Constantly hating every inch of my existence, wanting me to mold myself into something you've created. You want something I can't physically do.

You don't think I would devour myself if I looked like a fallen tree branch with shaved bark and long lengthy limbs,

I've tried.
 I've failed.
And now I feel defeated in my own skin.

When you asked me to change my entire being, I agreed, thinking I am not whole enough for myself, why shouldn't I try to be for someone else.

Maybe make myself into your goddess.
Let the secrets be out, I am not going to every be what you want me to be.
I will never be what I want to be.

I've tried you.
I've failed.
And now I feel defeated without your skin wrapped around me.
