Not A (Baby) Girl

When I was young, about one or two,

I was a baby girl.

I wore pretty little dresses

With my hair wrapped up in curls.

I never seemed to mind

The girly garments that I wore.

The only thing that bothered me

Was when those dresses tore.

A little older, four years old,

I dreamed of looking just like Belle.

I owned a bunch of pretty frocks

And I was doing swell.

Disney films were my fuel

They kept me kind of sane.

I watched them all so often

That they'd stuck into my brain.

Going into primary school

I loved the uniform.

And soon wearing those trousers

Became my brand new norm.

These clothes made me realise 

That I could wear them too.

That trousers, they weren't just for boys

And I had a breakthrough.

As I was getting older

I wore trousers everyday

It never mattered which

Just so long as I could play.

Soon enough COVID hit,

And lockdown came around

I was trapped inside with a mobile phone

And barely made a sound.

But being home had it's perks

I learnt about something new

A big, different community,

LGBTQ.

I researched it and learned new words

I'd previously never known

And seeing all of the labels,

My mind was fully blown.

Ever since that moment I knew I was a boy

But I stayed quiet on the most part

But it filled my heart with joy.

Cut to now, I'm a teenager

And I'm confident with who I am

I'm not a baby girl anymore.

Soon, I'll be a man.
