"People only fear what they don't know."


What are you?
the idiotic questions they ask
Do they have eyes?
A boy, or a girl?
Well no, oh well
For both I could pass

My pestering thoughts
Believing I could change girls attraction
to prove them wrong
and in the end to dream of fooling them

For once I wished them not to be distracted
By my androgynous drag
But desperately wanted them to believe
to get back into order
to know we were the same

The order "God" made
The order you cut
guiltily crossed, and created
only to soak in it
the absence of new thoughts in your head
they help if you repeat them and go to sleep
because your knowledge of your preference is there,
even when you let it sedate

Too harming
to androgynous
And I could put it to use
The great and almighty prefrencial reverse
Is it male? Or female? Transgendered?
To confuse, as well as abuse

Even the most
Masculine of the feminine
is more lady-like than I
No willets,
broad shoulders
Butch palone-omi
pretty girls and men, they never cry


The author's comments:
When I was a tiny adolescence, through out my elementary school career I was harassed by my peers and became very uncomfortable with my appearance as well as my voice and mannerisms even though I was feminine before my influenced choice of "innocent cross-dressing", which can also be reffered to as dressing like a tom-boy at a young age. The harrassment built up until I left my old school and had a feminine wardrobe. Even after the time that has passed I still feel the masculine hints through out my body, making it harder to accept who I am still. The rumors, the whispering and the assumptions everyone my age, above and below inspired me to write this months ago. Note: The last stanza is Palare, it's slang.
