You wanted me to be happy
But you didn't like
That I played football
Because I was a girl
You wanted me to be strong
But you never liked it
When I cried
Because I was a boy
You always tried to say
That because I was this
Or that
That I could only be what society wanted me to be
I ignored you
I walked my own path
I cut my hair short
When I was a girl
I wore my hair long
When I was a guy
I didn't care
I never lied
I am me
Male or female
Now you know why I dress up in jeans
And act like a tomboy
Now you know why I wear a dress
And act like a drag queen
The mirror never defined who I was
My spirit did
I knew this
Even before I was born
Sure I struggle
With being trapped
In the wrong body
But that's okay
I was born this way
And it's okay
To be bi
Lesbian
Or gay
It's okay to be transgendered
Transexual
Bipolar in love
We were born
To change
