Me Nuh Like

Me Nuh Like

How you advertise only

When it’s your work.

Me Nuh Like

That I still don’t have

A complex handshake with

A friend.

Me Nuh Like

That I don’t have at least two

People I can count on.

Me Nuh Like

That I don’t have my

Birth mom with me

And that I never will.

Me Nuh Like

That I wasn’t raised by my

Biological parents.

Me Nuh Like

being strung along

In other people’s life goals.

Me Nuh Like

Doing maximum work for

Minimum reward.

Me Nuh Like

Having to explain myself and

My mental health.

Me Nuh Like

That society finds it confusing

That I don’t want to be a

Boy.

Me Nuh Like

That I daydream about

Killing myself almost every day because

Of how society is structured.

Me Nuh Like

How these social constructs have

Put weight on my already heavy

Soul.

Me Nuh Like

That self-harm sounds

More and more

Appetizing every day.

Me Nuh Like

Me Nuh Like

Me Nuh Like.
