They were wrong


Once upon a time nineteen years ago the wrapped you in a pink blanket and said "congadulations its a girl"

 they were wrong 

Once upon a time they seperated the class girls on one side boys on the other 

you were lost 

once upon a time you were expected to wear a dress to your middle school dance

you were trapped 

once upon time someone mistook you for a boy

it was nice 

once upon a time you put the pieces together 

you came out

once upon a time after years of confusion

you were okay
