Dead


Sophie It might sound like royal vanilla Purples and pinks And it sounds feminine and sweet But do I want that to stick? I feel silence when I hear my name A bland, dead flavor Plain, and not true to myself Max sounds sharp A basic, masculine name Something I love But others hate They hate that I want to be someone new Someone who truly describes who I am Not a feminine cis girl But a slightly lost boy Innocent Naive And funny too A boy that has no shame Not a royal Not afraid
