I don’t like being a girl
I don’t like it!
And all that dislike gets channeled
Funneled
Lifted
Moved
Down from my brain
Into my chest
I want my breasts gone
Gone with the wind
With whatever takes them away
I just want to be seen as who I am
But I can’t
Because of the two
Infernal
Things
Hanging from my chest.
