they/them

You know it's they/them, as in me and most of mine
Some identical identity, I keep 'em close beside
Open old wounds just enough to bleed out older lines

I still meet them on my morning walk, sheepishly surprised
Used to think this skittish brain might need to be inside
'Til neurosis was a locksmith with a key to where I hide

Yes, I've got some makeup on, and yes, bitch, I look beautiful
So 'fore you ask another question, you can get to getting ghost
