Suddenly I was swallowed into the depths of the uncanny valley
The body I have sewn my soul in
Is not what is coveted
I claw against everything my body says it is
I fight against what has been given to me
I give all to be something I am not.
But the fire in my heart to be what they spoke of has burned out
In its place is
Calm, still water
A mirror I can look into
Something to be proud of
Something that is mine
