I type it over and over again

I am a male. I am a man. I am...

who am I kidding? I can try all I want. but I can't send it.

I change my sentence to "I am a boy"

it feels right

this hair too silky soft to ever be a family man,

these cheeks too freckled with boyhood to ever be adult and miserable

eyes too big and shiny, like a doe of a boy stood amongst men of war

womanhood doesn't fit either...I have experienced girlhood but never quite fit into that too.

so...I change the sentence. I am a boy

maybe it's all I'll ever be in this broken, crooked body

my chest is too soft to be a man

my womb is too cold to be a woman

I'm just Bug.
