Kid
Kid,
You don’t really know that you want this
You are too young and naive
Children aren’t meant to have political thoughts
You can’t do this to yourself
Kid,
If you do this you will be ridiculed and mocked
Just accept your role and be a good girl
Play your part and be the damsel in distress for your prince
You can’t be the hero
Kid,
Just kiss the boy and be a girl
Play the role of the wife
Have children of your own
You must wear this mask and play this role
Kid,
Be quiet and don’t question why
Society doesn’t like kids like you
That is why you must hide
Be careful, don’t let anyone see this side of you
Parents,
I just want to express myself
Why can’t you accept me?
I’ve always been like this
I can’t be quiet!
Society needs to accept “kids” like me
Our generation is the future
I must do this!
...It might help another kid like me...
