I don't know
If I'm simply overthinking it
Like I usually am
But so much of me doesn't think I am

Now that my hair is short
People stare when they see me
They double take to look at me
Trying figure out my gender

I'd like to say it doesn't bother me
But after having had this happen
For 3 and half years
I'm sick of it

I've tried to get better
At glaring at people when they stare
Showing them I don't fear them
And that they're being rude

But sometimes it's simply too hard to do
If affects all kinds of aspects of my life
It attacks my confidence
Hell it made me question my gender at first too

I wear a rainbow bracelet
Hoping it makes people realize
I'm just a lesbian
Not a boy

Maybe one day people will stop caring
People will stop staring
People will mind their fucking business
Fuck right the hell off, and realize

Girls can have short hair too
