Tomboy's Life
Numb fingertips feel the scissor
Without thinking I cut my hair
And see a "boy" in the mirror.
"Long dresses don't suit me"
That was said by my family
Yet still sometimes, I grab it
The war, I can't win, I quit.
Been a "tomboy" since birth
Before you all found it's worth
Before it was the trend of the Earth.
But still, do I have no right
To win this forgotten, forlorn fight?
Gender doesn't even matter now
I just want things my way anyhow.
Although I'm used to it by this time
"He" just seems to be a chime
Warning me I'm not "she", still daytime.
From when it was this way?
From when did I not ask" "Why?"
When did I accept being a boy
My will, when did they destroy?
Some tease, while others admire
But I don't want to be judged for my hair
Can't you all, for once, see my behaviour?
"Appearance isn't anything existant
That a studious girl should want"
Can't you all just, just shut up
I can feel my life and breath burnup.
Life doesn't need to be fair
I just need to stop giving a care
Move forward, show my flair and flare.
Confined in the 4 walls of my room
I can put on a skirt or a perfume
Even if unjustified guilt haunts my heart
I want to go for a fresh start.
