these days i struggle with
is that a woman or a man
he or a she
they or a them
i'm trying my best
to comprehend
this growing list

do i say pardon me sir
or please excuse me ma'am
as i search the right word
so i'm not screamed at
if i used a hey you
would that come off as rude
to tell the truth
i haven't got a clue
and then there is their
on my life i swear
i'm doing the best i can
to try understand
that which i struggle with
these days of insecure
what your pronoun is
that you sir or ma'am prefer
