1. Memories, For, When I Am. (Being edited 2024)

Sheep's Skin

Most don't understand,

yes I turn heads,

no I'm not that sort of mental,

I'm, I'm different...

I don;'t want the ones that

can't evolve with me as I do

with myself to attempt ti,

I'll just push forward

despite criticism,

despite, judgment,

never let someone change

who, on the inside I am.

I'm not trying to be something

I'm not,

the more and more I find myself

and the people that really care let me,

I can grow like a flower

in the night.

I'm teaching myself to be strong

against prejudice,

I hope to show others that laugh

that that laugh is just a ruse for someone

who can't express without seeming "thug".

Before anything I am a soul,

then a life,

then a person,

then a gender,

but before these I am kind,

I am a lover,

I am a protector,

I accept,

and I keep,

everyone deserves something better

no matter what they believe in

as long as they wear it proud and content.

I, I am not a man,

I don't try to become one, but

at least for a moment appear

as so to make up for in the minds of others

something writing cannot make up for in society,

yes that was a pan but some truths

lie within it,

This is who I am,

there's no hiding in something

I can't.

I'm a girl,

because it's less troubling,

because I am and can,

because what I wear shouldn't

matter,

because it's up to me to not hide

from myself like I did when I died

once upon a life ago,

that last bit.... few will understand,

because when I do this I can grow

strong inside myself and lead a tomorrow
