A full grown woman in my thirties It’s something I never wanted to be It smacks of decay and ingenuity And they want me to confirm their lies But growing up means your spirit dies If you conform to identity And let them make a role of me And she shouts me down So I start to drown In all they don’t want me to know They scream to just let him go But how do they not see He and I are one eternally Somewhere in a field afar We are joined underneath a star And we may never be a heteronormative pair He’s restrictive and I don’t care About the might he threatens to unleash I could always sense the beast That hid beneath the calm facade And this is not about making you feel bad It’s about trying to express the truth of my soul But they just smack me til my eyes roll And I pull myself out of that shit They’re not the cycle I’m spinning with
