"are you a girl or a boy?"

you hear it

a whisper in the hallway

a breath in a shop

grown men, little girls

and all thats in between

"are you a girl or a boy?"
louder now,

you know i can hear,

you want me to,

you want me to squirm

so you can laugh at me

"are you a girl or a boy?"

they want you to squirm

you do squirm

they sneer it at you

spit it in your face

twist simplicity to pain

"are you a girl or a boy?"

the knife in your gut twists

you want to shout

attack them, hit them,

hurt them, scratch them

make them stop
"are you a girl or a boy?"
you want to attack yourself

hit and hurt until

you can be the social norm

you want to claw your way

out of your body

"are you a girl or a boy?"

i am neither

"are you a girl or a boy?"

i am neither

i am neither

dont call me a she

or a he

i am neither

i am neither

just leave me alone
