he hears it echo
“she/her, my daughter”
yet another day
he’s a lamb to the slaughter

it seeps through his skin
he’s drowning in sin
his patience wears thin
but he puts on a grin

he’ll change the subject
sweep it under the rug
but don’t you forget
you’ve planted a bug

of shame in his ear
it’s all he can hear
it’s all he can feel
and it’s all that he fears
without second thought
you say, “i miss my son”
and now all of her confidence
is quickly undone

she can’t show she’s hurt
but she changes her skirt
for pants and swеatshirts
’cause she can’t be hеrself and overt

you get the privilege
to be safe in your skin
so you can’t understand
the situation she’s in

you get to disagree
with her identity
and say he and not she
and she can’t just not be

they come to you
after such apprehension
just to learn first grade english
is past your comprehension

you say it’s not true
and that it’s not fair to you
to have to learn something new
that’ll take, like, 2 seconds to do
you can’t use our names as an asset
we have every right to be upset
when every syllable just sounds like a threat
this is not as easy as forgive and forget

if you don’t get it, you can learn how to cope
every time that you say it, wash your mouth out with soap
we don’t have to forgive this, so you better hope
that you can rebuild all the trust that you broke
