Why can’t I leave the house without feeling guilty
for wearing a button down or sneakers or a hat
Why can’t i shop in the men’s section
without being stared down and laughed at
Why can’t i kiss my girlfriend in the street
without feeling like I’m committing a crime
Why do i have to come out to everyone i meet
every single ******* time
Why don’t i feel beautiful
for having short hair and piercings and tattoos
Why does society make me feel like less of a woman
because i don’t like to wear high heel shoes
Why can’t i feel like a human being
for once in my life
and why the hell can’t i dream of walking down the aisle
and making another woman my wife.
