when your a little girl
you don't think there's anything wrong
with running shirtless down the beach
it's doesn't occur to you
that when your older, you won't be able to do that
when your a little girl
their is no boundaries
between you and your little brother
bath time is just play time in water
there was no men and women when i was young.
my mom was so distraught
by the idea that i would choose to be nothing
that i had decided to make myself a blank slate
she said i never felt this way as a little girl
this change seemed to happen overnight
what trauma happened to make me feel this way?
but it was nothing.
i had no problem being a little girl
but i can never be a woman
nothing traumatic happened to make me want to be nothing
i just got older.
