I'm just a 'girl', but really I'm a boy

Always faking a smile, just a smart ploy

I use to show I'm okay, when really I'm not

Suffering in silence, letting my emotions rot

I've got issues and everyone does too

But baby I need help and so do you

Can we take a moment to hide our problems,

Everyone separated into two columns,

The naughty and the nice, or the smart and the dumb,

But really hun it doesn't matter just pick one!!

Always in the bottom, never at the top the sloppiest slop

Dying inside coz of body dysphoria and eating disorders

Won't eat anything for days then weeks,

Giving my diets a lot of little tweaks,

Just trying to find the one that makes me better,

Skinner and fitter smarter and prettier

All the things I'm not

I'm the fat one

I'm the dumb one

I'm the ugly one

I'm the slow one

That's me

I'm the fat one

The ugly one

The dumb one

The slow one

I starve myself to feel something,

My friends try to help me eat,

But really I want to admit defeat,

Hide in the shade and out of the way,

Let my disorders kill me,

Just set all my demons free,

Body dysphoria!

Eating Disorder!

Gender Dysphoria!

Homophobia!

Transphobia!

The systems broken

Demolition and rehabilitation.

That's the best way forward

Cut our losses and push on

I'm all on my own

You left and now everyone's gone

Shepherds and sheep, follow the leader

Am I good enough for you?

Am I thin enough for you?

Am I smart enough for you?

Am I pretty enough for you?

Am I kind enough for you?

If I'm not screw you

Pack your bags and leave

I DONT need you

I wanna be seen

I wanna be heard

I want you to recognise me
