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.
