Bride of Frankenstein by Vex Lee
I’ve Always Been a Monster
by Astrid Stormcrow
- Ever since I could remember
- I’ve always been a monster
- With Grass-stained jeans
- With Sweat-stained tees
- Calluses from power chords
- Bloody elbows and knees
- They said it was what they expected me to be
- And they were happy indeed, I could always be me
- But I was always a monster
- Just not the one they wanted to see
- Ever since I could remember
- I’ve always been a monster
- Black shirts, Black jeans
- Black shorts, Black things
- Tattoos of the macabre
- Dark songs to sing
- They said they didn’t get it, but loved me the same
- That they were happy to see that I couldn’t be tamed
- But I was always a monster
- They told themselves it was only a phase

- Ever since I could remember
- I’ve always been a monster
- Eyeshadow, foundation
- New hormone replacement
- Self hatred was gone
- I Own my full greatness
- They said I was wrong, they won’t use my real name
- That I was confused, like I was playing some game
- But I was always a monster
- They think I should be ashamed
- Ever since I could remember
- I’ve always been a monster
- No apologies
- No blood left for me
- I’ve been a dark creature
- Not really a mystery
- You say that I’m different and I’m not like the others
- No hyper-femme palette, no bangs and no buffers
- But I was always a monster
- She/her with a big dick, motherfucker
