about

Gender expression can look so big yet we can feel so small or maybe we feel colossal while shrinking back.

{ inspired by "Untitled (big/small)" by Tom Friedman }

lyrics

"For the woman looking at their tomboy reflection
We are never just a phase
to grow out of
Capable even when others
try to diminish our equality
We are more than gender or biology
We are compass
So don’t lose your way

Our button-ups & bow-ties
Replaced the expectations of
heels & made-up faces

See, I made-up with the withdrawal from self
Found comfort in the construct of masculine
so I no longer view dresses as a threat

Its too many days
the giant in me looks down at my feet
Speculating how little I am
While this little me sees a version
much too big to embrace
Its spending too much time looking at the wrong things
These projected ruminations
my insecurities reflect

But I know I am enough

I have had enough

Been enough when I wasn’t seen
standing at feet

This enough
is woman looking at their tomboy reflection
in a phase not to grow out of
but in to

This, giant on the horizon
waiting
to arrive"
