      Natural Misfit


      I was born the wrong gender

      a girl was expected 
      in line with familiar tradition
      a natural misfit right from the start
      the groove seemed so logical
      
      boys don’t cry, I was trained
      against my true nature
      in line with cultural tradition
      a natural misfit at the first hurdle
      the track was just typical
      
      men rule the roost, so I was told
      in line with patriarchal tradition
      averse to being in command and control 
      I'm a natural misfit at every turn 
      a poor pattern, obviously habitual
      
      I've been struggling with my
      misfit nature reliably from day one
      until it hit me that not fitting into
      a world that's gone awry and fake
      is the most natural way after all
