They imagined Him again
And again
And again
They tried to replace Him with Her
But They couldn’t
He just kept coming back
They Never took interest in Dolls
Or Castles
Or princes and Princesses
They played King of the hill
with the Guys
Pretended that They were a Knight
They felt and looked awkward in Dresses, the Feminine makeup
Or Long hair
They wore button ups tucked into black, Combing Back hair
And tightening a Necktie
They would cringe at the sound of Their voice,
Their laugh
And hope that They could slip by as Their self
Despite it all
They had denied
Denied
Denied
Just androgynous
Repeatedly
They lied
They lied
They lied
They lied
Make Him go away
Make Her go away
What were They supposed to tell Their loved ones
Though, perhaps They aren’t the only one.
