People ask about my appearance.
Kids at school want to know.
What are you?
I don’t at all mean race.
I mean gender.
Are you trying to be a boy?
When are you going to shave your head?
I avoid the questions as if they’re not there.
I know who I am.
Why should they have to?
Sometimes I’m ashamed.
My grandma says “What are you wearing T?”
But I just say “It’s comfortable”
Sometimes I just want to yell out “I’M A BOY”
“Hearts, not parts, you guys”
But I can’t
I can’t picture a positive reaction coming from that. 
I’d just get a “No you’re not”
Or an “It’s a phase”
Online I can say “Male pronouns please’
Or “I’m a cool trans boy”
It makes me comfortable.
I’m uncomfortable with “Miss”
And “young lady”
I’d rather be called “Teo”
Or even “sir”
But I guess it’s easier for everyone else if I hide myself

I'm Teo, the lost boy
