lyrics

words:

Oh there I am
This is my place
Just give me a moment to
Find my page again

This book seems pretty dated
I'm struggling to find it relatable
New texts would be great
I feel like they're needed

Typing in questions
Search engine sputters out
Terms I've heard mentioned

Oh there I am
This is my line
But it's not as easy as that

Who am I?
Why try to find my kind like I'm
In need of company

Typing in questions
Search engine sputters out
Terms I've heard mentioned

Being shown answers
No sudden congruence
Work with umbrellas

Trying to find an identity
By identifying times I've felt I don't align to male society
But I do not want to define myself through what they see in me
Yet it reads that these norms and these traits
Have a place in dysphoria born in my brain
To culminate in my voice now saying
I do not want to be a boy
But I don't want to be moved out of spite
For toxic masculinity and irony in boys don't cry
Cos I cry, so I'm a boy right? What a guy
And other lines I feel gender confined by
Love the lipstick I wear, hate my thick facial hair
When people say he/him it crawls in my skin
I can't bear to be pinned
I'll change with the change in me
I will respect my transgender fluidity
