"My response to Sarah Kelly"

Build. I was told that woman are made to build. But wait... What if I told you that my gender identity was as messy as raindrops as they hit the ground? What if the only thing I can build are stanzas in some wanna be poem. Yes, I do have a vagina but I bind my breasts so tightly I cannot tell the difference between breathing, And a panic attack. I am not a woman. I am not the type. I am your type. When I am asked what I would like to be when I grow up, Isn't it sad that that the first thought that occupies my mind is, "I want to be a man.." My mother pushed out her precious baby girl and keep in mind I had a brother. Have a brother. Sex and gender are two completely different things, darling. When someone asks what I want to be when I get older, I will say a carpenter. Because at least then I can build myself to be a man. From the ground up. But for now I will have to settle for pecks made out of metaphors, And the thought of a penis as long as my lyrics. Would you still love me if I was a man? If not, Then have fun choking on my poetry.
