GIRL
October 11, 2018
“A girl”
That’s who I am--
Not a man
That’s what I’m told.
I’m told something I dislike;
I keep quiet and believe what is told,
Even though my mind says otherwise
But who cares? I’m just a girl…
...or so I think.
I don’t mind being she, I don’t mind being he--
But being she isn’t being he
And that’s really not me.
I’m stuck, confused, and irritated.
I really don’t want to come out again;
Is there anything for me to be? Or come out to be?
There’s only two genders apparently,
But then what am I?
Nobody--
That’s who I am.
