you never knew me
as a woman
never knew
the long cascading locks
flowing past my shoulders
never knew the make up
neatly applied to blend in
never knew the dresses
worn on several occasions
(though I would have rather not)
you know me
as a person
know the short hair
the backwards hats
chosen to show masculinity
know the baggy shirts
with the unwanted bound underneath
know the Docs, pins, plants
and everything in between
so why do you
still call me
“she”
