Femme

I wasn't looking For Sexual validation I was just looking For a bit of Recognition That the face I see in the Mirror Is the face you see Too That this is worth all the Hard things We do I know that it's clichéd And you don't want to Hear it I know that its a dress And I could choose Not to wear it I should have cut My hair Off When I knew I was Queer It would have Made it easier On everyone here It's not that I'm afraid Or scared Of gay panic Or that It's the kind of Style I can't really stomach I love it on them Or her Or you It's just that on me It doesn't feel true And it's A touch of The community Feels ill at ease Because there are Some amongst us Who have long Thought of femininity As a disease But I like to think It's not that dark I like to think that We've come so far And it's a touch Of the community Thinks Femininity Is a disease That has long Made some amongst us Feel ill at ease But I like to think It's not that dark I like to think that We've come so far But I like to think It's not that dark I like to think that We've come so far But I like to think It's not that dark I like to think that We've come so far But I like to think It's not that dark I like to think that We've come so far That time in the bar When they knew I was Gay How I wanted to Reach across The counter And say How could you tell with all this Pink What about me made you Think That I'm that way too That you saw me and Somehow in me Recognised You
