I'm Going To Do That

Can I-

intrude into your fantasy?

Can I tell you a shocking truth?

Can I become everything you hate

so that I can love myself?

Can I dream of a job with impactful meaning

into epidemiology and humanity's health in underdeveloped countries?

Can I hold a job in power while still being girly?

Can I not give birth?

Can I not have children?

Can I adopt?

I'm just asking so that I can understand

what your reaction will be-

Oh I'm not changing!

You can be sure about that,

But all you have to ask yourself is 

Can I do that?

 

P.S.

The answer is yes.

    I'm a mirror of society that has painted
