Gender Identity
I don't wanna talk about it,
But to completely ignore it
Would be more than hurtful.
If I do bring it up, could you tell
Me it's okay, that I'm okay. That
There's nothing wrong with me.
Don't deny it like my parents,
Don't hate me like my brother,
Don't label me mentally ill
Like I did for far too long.
It's taken to many painful
Years and tears to even
Approach some level of self care,
To realized there's no point in
Fighting what I've always been.
And while this has become my identity
I want you to know I don't think you
Or anybody owes me anything
Because of it. All I want is to be
Myself around others and to
Feel comfortable in my own skin.
