Dysphoria

(Wrote this abt gender dysphoria)

Why put up with it day after day

Like a rock in a shoes that won't go away

A feeling of discomfort that's always there

Even so, it wouldn't kill me, so why do I care I want to take off that shoe and throw away the rock

But someone says "No, just leave it" when my hand goes near my sock

And so I'm now trapped in this unceasing feeling

And until I can fix it, I just keep on dealing

With the pain that comes each time I slip on that shoe

Either it goes away soon, or maybe *I* do
