A genetic coin toss determines it all  

Dances, dresses, what you are called  

When am I free, to decide what is me?  

If I do, can I still join your tea party?  

An alliance, a community I don’t want to miss  

But gender is messy.,  My thoughts in a twist  

I want to be one of you, but this feels like a lie  

Would you still invite me if I were a guy?  

For now, my life stays simple and safe  

Is it not easier if I know my place?  

I wish it were different, but that’s not the case  

So, for now, womanhood will be my safe space
