I am chained by femininity,

Unable to be the real me,

I am chained by femininity.

________________________________

Wishing for my masculinity,

Unable to be the real me,

I am chained by femininity,

________________________________

Remnants of my sanity,

I am chained by femininity,

Unable to be the real me.

________________________________

Cannot live genuinely,

Unable to be the real me,

I am chained by femininity.

________________________________

Not loving myself consistently,

I am chained by femininity,

Unable to be the real me.

________________________________

Dressing myself so hesitantly,

Unable to be the real me,

I am chained by femininity.

________________________________

Anger burns me so insistently,

I feel so outwardly dishonest,

Unable to be the real me,

I am chained by femininity.
