As a kid i was told
"You're going to grow up and have a beautiful husband"
"Wear more dresses, thats what girls do"
"If you cut your hair you'll look like a boy"
What if I don't want that
What if I don't want to wear dresses
What if I'm not a girl
Well mum im sorry to break it too you
But i am a boy
I may not look like one
But i am
I want short hair
Even if it makes me look like a boy
EVEN BETTER
You dont let me be me
I have to pretend to be someone
Someone im not
Someone that's never coming back at all
I've changed mum
Actually no i haven't
Ive always been a boy
Who liked boys
I just didn't know yet
