GENDER: A poem By Symplygold

1. She is called masculine, dresses masculine and walks masculine.
She is supposed to be an epitome of beauty
Instead she becomes the definition of mystery
She houses her soft, charming, sweet, and caring personality
Revealing a tough, coarse, and mean physiology
Hiding under the facade of brutality.

2. She guards the gate of her heart with every fierceness
This she does to protect from supposed devourers or trespassers
She looks so unruffled and undisturbed on the surface
But guess what, she paddles madly on the inside

3. She says “I’m wild”
She means “I’m mild”
She says “I’m indifferent”
She means “I really care”
She acts like Mike Tyson, but inside her is a Princess Barbie
She acts like Bruce Lee, but inside her is a Queen Liz
She takes her guard, and plays the boss
All a show to fit in the act.
