Last night I had no dreams
My sister shook me awake
When she left
I put on a dress
The dress was pink
The shoes were white
And my mother said I looked nice
But it didn't feel right
Some days I wake to a bright light
It fills my room with delight
Other days I wish to stay in bed
Because my clothes don't fit
Mother laughs at the news
But I cannot ask questions
Though if I had the chance
I know exactly what I would ask
Why must girls wear pink dresses to look nice
And why do boys have to wear blue ties
If a boy were to wear a dress would you laugh
And if a girl were to wear a tie would you mind
