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
