Mikayla was just that: Mikayla
she wasn't perfect, but then again who is?
she seemed happy on the outside
but on the inside she was trapped
she knew she wasn't supposed to be a girl
but how could she tell anyone
she never felt comfortable in dresses
and when her gym teacher told them to put boys in one line and girls in the other
she always felt the need to be over with the rowdy boys playfully punching each-other
it wasn't until she was 14
that she knew how it was supposed to be
the next day she came to school dressed in all guy clothes
her hair was short and her nail polish removed
she was no longer Mikayla: she was Aidan.
but then her friends began to diss
she started to cut
she started to cry
and then one day she said good-bye
