MAYA

I know how I look but I'm Just a Girl. Being gay when you were born that way is a blessing and a curse. All I wanted for my 13th birthday was my hair lined up and an undercut. As a young black woman my family was not trying to hear that shit...for real. I still got my hair cut though, now 10 years later at the age of 23 I am a gay black woman in this world of ignorance and lust. A woman with male features and masculine tendencies that gets called 'sir' by the majority of people who just take a glance at me and assume I'm this young handsome black man and sexy by the women who take an attraction in my androgynous features. Hard to find love...sometimes its me honestly. I feel every woman I date treat me as if my dick don't come from the store but as if I grew it. Some treat me like a little pretty princess. Some just want to experiment and experience(often). They don't really want to be with me. Never for who I am at least , maybe for what I look like. The love I give, the feeling, the vibe, it's one of a kind honestly. But truthfully, I don't give a fuck. I just wonder sometimes, when do I get a fair chance at this love shit?
