How can I change for you?
I won't even change for me
I don't change for anyone
I'm unchanging

when i was ten years old
there were only two genders
there were four channels on my tv
there was no such thing as a selfie
when I was ten years old
the internet was a new invention  
i couldn't see the point of a search engine
instant chat became an addiction
when I was ten years old
there were only two genders
i knew what mine was
i wasn't afraid for the future generations
i wasn't mourning what society has lost
i'm still searching high and low
for the innocence from ten years old

you are no burden
the only burden ive ever known
are the ones who called you a burden
who made you believe you were alone
you are no burden
you give me passion and purpose
you are not a burden
you are precious

you try me on for size
only to realise we never fit
oh, how tragic

through the rain
through the tears
through the mistakes
still, here we are
still, we remain
