Him

AnnaBell Hutchens 2009 (springfeld)



Me and her look at him hours on end,
But we look for different reasons.
She looks because of his deep laugh,
His short hair, and, will because he is ‘he’ and not a ‘she’. I look because I want to know how he can be called ‘he’ and not ‘she’. How girls
Love him because he is a ‘he’ and not
a ‘she’. I want people to look at me and say “he is so handsome” and not
“She is so pretty”. I hate being
A ‘she’ but I love being a ‘he’
