I am a boy,
A pretty broken boy,
who likes to pretend people see un-city skies
and late-night wisdom
Behind his almost-owl eyes.
A charcoal-lashes boy who winds his watch
When no strangers are watching,
Who only feels at home when he has bare feet.
A boy, who would run away if there was somewhere to run to,
But has no choice but to be a doll in a chair,
Decadent in blue.
This one's not about disphoria, but is a form of self-affirmation.
I feel guilty for being a "pretty girl," because I know it should make me happy.
I know others are jealous, and my mother calls me her little doll.

I don't want to be a doll, or a pretty girl.
I don't want to be any kind of girl.
I am male.

I completely agree with what you are saying. When my mother says "You're my baby girl" or "my lovely daughter" I want so bad to tell her what I am a boy...
Its very well written, and short and to the point.
