I try to fit inside society
but I don't
My curves are too jagged
my mannerisms too much;
but I should be proud
that I'm more likely to end my life,
of the hate crimes,
the judging,
and the people who want us to change.
Be Proud
Because when you don't fit into a box,
We are in that lovely rainbow pool.
But I am drowning in it.
The heteronormative box
replaced with more labels
and more discrimination.
"No femmes, no blacks, no asians"
It's okay to have preferences
But don't discriminate in a place where there is already enough.
I can't fit into the box even when they try.
There is pride in the milestones
Though, the road ahead goes on for awhile.
