Still A Girl

She didn't think she was beautiful

she thought she was

ugly

because she couldn't pass as a

girl

she still looked like a

boy

people still called her

butch

drag

f****t

everyday she hides in her room

to cry

she's been treated so badly

she can't remember the last time someone said

I love you

they'll never know how much she 

tries

so hard to look like her

true self

everyone told her to act like a

boy

they don't understand

they'll never understand

she struggles

everyday

to fit in

she just wants someone to realize

that she is a

girl

she doesn't realize that she is

georgeous

like a butterfly

I want to tell her that she is

so beautiful

so precious

so delicate

yet 

so independent

so strong

so fierce

no matter what.
