Dysphoria
i am a boy.
Am i a boy yet?
Do i meet your standards?
Am i tall?
Am i masculine?
Am i strong?
What defines me as a boy?
what makes you think i'm not?
im a boy
im a boy
im a boy
"but im not"
id tell myself,
you're a girl
you're a girl
you're a girl
Yet i don't feel like one
My body doesn't suit my brain
Am i a boy yet?
All i ever wanted was to be someone else
i now know why
But no one believes me
i don't know why
i just want to fit
i just want to be comfortable
Feel like my skin isn't so tight anymore
i can breath
Am i a boy?
"you're my son"
is all i wanted to hear
But they wouldn't listen
no one would
not even the people in the street
not even the people at school
not even the teachers in class
not even my parents
not even myself
i am a boy.
