i n t e r l o c k e d

interlock your fingers

with mine, just for a

little while, and let your mind

w a n d e r,

can we do it?

could you forget that i'm

not good enough,

could you forget that our

hands can't touch,

could you forget that i

never really wanted any of this at all

when i was young

i am young

and when i felt joy

where's that feeling gone

and when i pretend

i can smile

i can fit in

i can be whoever i'm

meant to be

so go ahead and

intertwine our fingers

even if i pull away

even if i hate myself

it's me and my own destiny

interlocked and inseparable and unbearable

none of this feels right

which is why

i choose to do nothing at all
