En Otro Cuerpo

Dear God
I feel like I don't belong in this body

I look in the mirror and I truly feel it
But I feel like what I have isn't mine
And I reject it, sometimes it disgusts me
And I can't help it

As a kid, I always liked to fight with friends
I hated dolls, I liked toy cars
And climbing trees and being a fighter
Hanging out with boys and talking about Dragon Ball

But they wanted me to be more feminine
To wear some jeans, to be a lady
They said I was pretty, that I shouldn't hide anymore
But it's not that I want to hide
I just don't want to show that I'm like this
I want to be how I truly feel
But my body doesn't reflect who I am inside

I don't want to wear makeup
Use heels or dresses
I want cargo pants
I want to look masculine

And sometimes I wished that when I woke up everything would change
That I would have that body I so desire

But it stayed the same, none of that changed
I feel trapped in a woman's body
But what can I do with a difficult path
It's very hard to have to hide it
Why wasn't I born normal?
Why did I get this life?
Is this the path I'll have to walk?

Maybe God gave me this body to teach me
That I must fight for what I dream and feel
That looks and words can bring me down
But the price of being strong is to scratch me

I want to stand up for people like me
I won't resign myself to be something I'm not
To all trans boys, I dedicate this song
Don't give up and fight

Follow your heart
