I AM

People look at me and see one of three things

A strong, intelligent, independent young woman named Katharine

Or a quiet, shy, smart, pretty girl with an edge named Kat

Or as a goofy tranny boy who is a childish geek named Conner

But these people don't exist,

Their just masks forced on by a society

That refuses to acknowledge me

For I am the badass cocky bastard named Kage

who is forced to contain his rage

For my masks are different reflections of me

Warped by people who "love" me

Because I am strong

I am intelligent

I am independent

I am quiet

But I am also LOUD

I can be shy

And apparently I'm attractive

I do have an edge

And yes I can be goofy and childish

As well as a geek

I am a boy

And only a bit of a girl

But I am also badass

I am determined

I am a smart ass

A cocky bastard

I am loyal

But not

I am easily angered

And quick to forget

I am me

I am Kage

And I am sick and tired of hiding this rage
