Transgender

I wanted to be that thing
To carry the sting
Be a man
Virile and strong
All my life I was told
That I had to want it
Be bold
I had to be it
Not to was wrong
I had to be strong

But I can't be something I'm not
I can't pretend at that thing
I can't pretend to curb my body
Embody costumes for clothes
Folding my mannerisms
Acting out a new speech
Talking a false sex
Flex into some box

So, when you say it
"Man"
Damn
I'm sorry
But that's not me
I just don't fit
I'm not that shit
I'm just not it
