Make me a man
Every night when I go to bed,
with the same painful thought inside my head.
I wish and wish it over again,
Please make me like those normal men.
Why do I have this birth defect?
I ask a god that isn't here,
Because I can't ask anyone else,
There is too much that I fear.
I stare down at mounds upon my chest,
And feel the empty space,
I never was not once a girl,
It's boyhood that I chase.
But when I'm brave and tell someone,
Of my future plan,
I won't be a girl, or even a boy,
I will be a man.
