“I don’t know how I missed that.” by Willanielli Kaye

It’s simple

I have a big dick

a deep, sexy man voice

Ppl like me aren’t supposed to

(exist)

walk away from

that kind of

joy

Such a nice dick

that I feel guilty

when bottom surgery

makes me wet

Guilt like bricks

thrown at my kneecaps

in case I ever forget

what u socialize me to be
