Sometimes the s in she gets caught in my throat
And the girl I’m about to see turns into a he
That one simple letter that I never wrote
Like its existence just embarrasses me
I’m just not quite there! I can’t admit it out loud
Because what if it makes them think I’m odd?
I’m too scared to let myself stand out in the crowd
To let others see how permanently I’m flawed
So, I choose my fears above my love for her
And pretend I’m something I never were
