To be a dyke
Folder:
Other stuff Why is it to finally be myself, accept myself
I have to change myself
It seems I am not gay enough
What would make me gay enough to them?
The other lesbians
I guess I am too femme
Cut my hair off, short and spikey
Stop shaving my legs
Never have long nails
I need to be more athletic
Even though I never was too into sports
Ditch the purse and get a wallet
Work in a field traditionally dominated by men
A mechanic or plumber
I need a truck or an SUV, not a “girly” car
I guess I should have never made the grave mistake of sleeping with a man
Or marrying one
Being with a man ever means your not a “true” lesbian
I have to get rid of my wardrobe high heels and dresses get tossed out
For jeans and flannels and athletic wear
Start drinking beer
And learn how to fix a car
Why cant I be gay and wear lipstick
Or be a lesbian who had a child with a man
Why can’t I perm my hair and why can’t I dress up for a date
Why can’t I like ballet and still be a lesbian
It seems the femme lesbians are only in movies
I have to be a dyke a butch one
In order to be seen as a lesbian
To have other women look at me
