privilege is your pronouns respected
and them never having to be corrected

not scrutinised by a perverted hoard

privilege is when you're simply the norm
accepted as cannon in gender and form

privilege is getting hopped up on cisgender vanity
and denying trans people a shred of humanity

privilege is you lying about our sex and our gender
and then making out as if we're the pretender

privilege is misgendering millions of souls
and enforcing ignorant patriarchal roles

privilege is ignoring our constant cries
and replacing them with more of your lies

privilege is kicking us when we're down
and mocking us while we drown

privilege is the lies you entertain so often
that send trans people to an early coffin

privilege is the curse of cisgender tongues
breathing forth hatred from indifferent lungs

privilege is turning around without care
your hands in the air, not a worry to spare,

tomorrow we're dead, and we're no longer there.
tomorrow we're dead, and we're no longer there.
