"Identity"
June 2, 2011
"Identity"
Is it truly my fault
if I can't quite catch on to that term?
I don't see why I must pick a label
and stick with it from then on.
I don't know what I am.
I don't think I ever will.
I couldn't tell you
if I'm a boy, trapped
or straight
or if I'm gay.
I couldn't tell you
what I don't know how to say.
I can't fully express
how much I hate being a girl
Do I have to identify
as a boy or a girl,
in your binary bias?'
I am me.
Is that what you should see?
I want to be seen
for who I am
and who I could be
not for your perception of me.

They already hate me for the bipolar...
I'd hate to find out what they'd think if my questionable gender identity..
I want to be seen for me, and not for who they think I should be. Is that too much to ask?
