I think I'm trans
But that feels weird to say
So l'll hide who I am
Like I did yesterday

It's easier to just be a girl
Simpler to be cis
But these trans feelings
Can't be dismissed

I say I'm “just like everyone else”
But that's not the case
But to keep my lips sealed
Is to ensure I'm safe

Fear can push you forward
Or suspended you in time
My fear causes both
And I keep my truth inside

So I quietly seek and search
And explore my trans feels
Because saying it out loud
Would make it too real

So maybe l'Il be a quiet trans
Not make too much noise
But if I only act like a girl
I can't be one of the boys

I guess I'm a masculine girl
No that's doesn't quite fit
So l'm a feminine boy maybe
But no that's still not it

No one extreme fits
Always both and in-between
It's a queer gender experience
Even I don't know what I mean

Where do I belong
And really who am I
This tension fills my soul
But I'd rather it be pride

So my outside whispers
While my inside shouts
I'm afraid to be trans
But I want to come out
