My tears have dried up,
The faucet turned off;
I have nothing left,
Please don't scoff.

Where am I now,
Without my home;
My heart's adrift,
I'm so alone.

1 in 12 transgender people are killed every single year.
1 in 12 i can't walk the streets alone at night.
1 in 12 public restrooms are a choice of being yelled at, or being beat up.
1 in 12 i hide behind my hoodie and keep my head down when im in "shifty" places.
1 in 12 having to wear the incorrect school uniform because "kids can be cruel"
1 in 12 you're not a "real man" if you don't have a *****, and if you do have one, you cannot be a woman, like there is a set of rules.
1 in 12 i can't get i job because if they find out i'm trans they'll use slurs in the place of my name.
1 in 12 living a lie because i want to be alive.
1 in 12 but am i truly alive, if im constantly hiding behind a mask?
1 in 12 is it too selfish that i just want to survive?

what is we destroyed gender roles?
take the gender binary
and bend it till it brakes?

what if girls weren't confined to long hair
marring rich and being pretty?

what if boys weren't forced to strong
and to hide their feeling?

what if people wore the clothing they want

people stopped painting their child with pink and blue.
learned that the clothing is simple cloth to hide the body.
