the only monster on the island of lesbos

I see my one true chance of escape Tucked tight into the arms of a prettier face Something that's smooth and shaped and un-pained Shoulders unstrained, for the need to try and be small has forever ceased It never even existed in the first place In a matter of time, I'll f**k up and they'll find that I don't belong here And they'll send me to sea on a ship made of leaves Something destined to sink and break apart from my weight One expects to know the beast before it can be slain To tear its jaw out and drive it back into the sea I'm always in fear because I truly know that the only monster here is me
