GENDER

GENDER

What are you when you know you are male

And all you can feel is for boys
But all you knew was being female
You feel female
You act effeminate
And can’t help it
Because that’s how you were raised?
What are you
A boy? A girl? If a girl, you are straight
If a boy you are gay, as gay as can be
How can someone do that to a child?
It’s a cruel thing to do


On the other hand, I like being female
No, I don’t want anything changed
I like to stay exactly the way I am
It is possible to come to accept this
Simple fact
I am a boy
He raised me to be a girl
I hate him
I do not hate the girl in me
Did I finally accept being me?
I guess so!
