Girls n Boys

Girl

A feminine creature

Boy

One who has masculine features

 


One or the other

That’s what they command

But they never quite bothered

To suit our demands

 


A girl who likes trucks

Is like a sitting duck

A boy who doesn’t live for the hunt

Will automatically be struck

 


But for what?

For being a rebel,

And not being your obedient mutt?

 


We will not hide in their shells

We won’t wear our bodies like cells

Cells to a prison we can’t escape

We will retaliate 

Against the tape

You try to put over our mouths

To quiet us down

 


Someone who you would argue a woman,

Will not suit your demands

You will not command us

HE is a true man

 


You can boo

But there’s nothing you can do

To break down our walls

Or else your plan will fall

This one goes out to all my trans friends. They pulled through when no one else was there to pull them out of the water. These people have struggled through so much, but yet make time for me and MY struggles. I don’t know how y’all do it but I’m super glad you do. Keep fighting, and just know, I will always be fighting there along side you.
