A/N: It's been a while, sorry about that. I've been writing but it's hard with stress from school to also have time to post. I'm trying my best :) Enjoy this poem, I went for a different style this time. Sorry if it's a bit sad or messy, I wrote it when I was feeling bad so it's rushed

TW: Mentions of gender dysphoria (body & social) for an afab person
~
I want to be soft
To wear pastel colors
And I want to be a feminine boy
But all I'm seen as is a girl
Girl
Girl
Girl
Girl is all that I can think of
You walk like a girl
And talk like a girl
You aren't flat-chested
And you won't ever have the body of a boy
You're just a girl
And people keep showing me that every day
She
Her
Hers
Girl
Girl
Girl
Girl
Why can't you see me for who I am?
After I go though so much to try to maybe possibly have a chance of being satisfied
With my presentation
And how you view me
You prove my hope wrong
It hurts
When it's
A habit
But it's worse
When it's
Not
You only call me a girl, because that's what I look like to you
And that's what I'll always look like
Hips
Thighs
Chest
Voice
Things everyone has
But mine
Are like
A
Girl
And I wish they weren't
