I don't like gender

When I was six I wanted a penis,

Asked my father when I got home,

Said I am what is between my legs,

Asked a teacher in recess,

Said I had to supress,

So I did what I was told.

Six years later I am still doing so,

But then my chest beginns to grow,

Parents shouting in their room,

People trying to assume,

'What's that person next to me?',

Dreaming of a different life,

Some siblings, a cat, the sea,

Without wounds from my own knife.
