Taboo they call it
This self expression
This blatant
Body modification
A confession
Of inner thought processes
Unlocked from the cage
They've been held captive in
The efforts I have made to be like them
Just like Him
The man whose fist replaced fatherly hugs
Of fascination with his newborn son
Whose genitals grew out if proportion
To the etch a sketch version
Of himself
Herself
The girl whose hormones
Manufactured more testosterone
Than society deemed acceptable
Slapping on termininology
That can't begin to accurately describe
The feelings she hides
Born with the soul of a girl into the body of a guy
She commits suicide
Got tired if the thoughts plaguing her mind
The laughing of peers so she threw off the disguise
Slipped on some jeans and an old t shirt
Put on a smile like it didn't even hurt
After all there was nothing she could do
She couldn't even talk about it, because like you said
It's taboo.
