Survivorship isn't something I chose

I'll tell you here, my story, in a poem called a prose

Survivorship isn't something I chose

It's a pain that you feel deep down right in your toes

Survivorship isn't something you choose

Because you're playing a game and each time you fucking lose

Survivorship isn't something I want

Cause I tell you the only thing I really want

I really want to be deep down

Or living in an urn

Or in my skin I paint my pain so I can get rid of the burn

It isn't something you want

To lose your own rights

The most intimate part of any single life

To have to talk to police

For the umpteenth time

To have to tell them about your body

To say it's no longer mine

To get ready for the courts

To tell the jury that they're guilty

Without even being sure that it's going to do anything

It makes you cry not-on-command

It makes you hit it makes you scream

It makes you cry and sob and heave

It taints fucking everything

It pulls you from your dreams and puts you right back there

In that room, that fucking tomb, back there again

Survivorship isn't something that I chose

And if you think it is, then take a rope to your throat. (This line is aimed at victim blamers, for them to shut up, because we didn't choose survivorship.)
