Young lady,
Miss,
And her.
I hear it every single day.
It infuriates me to no end.
Why can't people just see me
The way I want them to?
Why do I have to be scared of
Walking a certain way because
It'll look too feminine.
For gods sake I'm even scared
To cough in class because it's
Too high pitched.
Then people tell me:
"Well why didn't you correct them?"
Because I'm scared to.
Last time I corrected someone they
Yelled at me that I would always be a girl
And that they would never see me as a man.
That someone was my own brother.
Someone I have to see everyday.
Hey, I can't blame him.
It's not like I even look male in the
Slightest bit.
Why is everything I do so feminine?
My parents tell me:
"It's only 4 years then you'll be done
And you won't have to worry about
Them anymore."
Yeah right.
Did they forget that the people I'm
Scared of the most are living under
The same roof?
4 years is a really long time.
No it's not going to "fly by and I'll
Miss it when I graduate"
I'm exhausted.
Every part of me hurts.
And I'm most likely going
To have permanent rib and
Back pain due to this, so no
I won't miss any part of this.
If everyone sees me as a girl,
Then why is it so hard to just
Change back?
