Made Of
What makes a boy?
What makes a girl?
Is it the pelvis inside of their pants?
Or the lack of air between their legs
I wear the clothes I want
Because that is what makes me happy
Although I keep hearing: Oh but you’re so pretty! What a pretty girl you are! So beautiful sweetheart!
I block out what they say about me because it doesn't matter
It's not suppose to
I want to belong
To fit in with the rest
But I have a path that is different among the rest
I wear a tight painful breath taker compression vest, just to hide those lumps that aren’t suppose to be there
If I could I would get rid of them permanently
If I could I would show my pride
Though I can’t do that
I simply do not have the guts to do so
Day in and day out, it’s always the same
It's not enough, it's never enough
This is a nightmare that I cannot wake up from
Nor will it ever end
Until I am able to wake up in a skin that I am comfy within
