Ageless Identity

Men are forever boys

Girls are eternal women

I’ve played this role all my life

A careless girl I can never be

To be a woman is to watch my skirt

To be a boy is to take off his shirt

Boy’s toys all stay the same

Women’s tools are girl’s play

Women hide their aging lines

Boys age in their own time

Boys will be boys

and I’ll never be a girl at ease
