When I was a kid

My mom and dad thought

I’d change my sex

That I’d rather be a girl

T-shirt as my wig, socks as my tits

Disney princess dresses

And my grandmas pretty pearls

I don’t wanna be a man

If man means power, to not empower others

Don’t wanna be a man

I don’t wanna be a woman

If woman means fighting to be an equal person

Don’t wanna be a woman

Can I just be human? Can I just be me?

Can I just be human?

It’s written in stone, religiously so

That we are meant to enter certain roles

I’ve read all your posts, and I know it hurts

To break the curse, my teenage rebels we could change the world

I don’t wanna be a man

If man means violence instead of showing kindness

Don’t wanna be a man

I don’t wanna be a woman

If woman means terror, to love in trial and error

Don’t wanna be a woman

Can I just be human? Can I just be me?

Can I just be human?

I don’t care who you are, just who you wanna be

Boy, man, woman or girl

Just be what comes naturally

If you don’t wanna be labeled make your own category

Or you can just be human
