Everyday lately feels like  
I'm becoming more aware

That as a kid I felt more than human
I felt more like an animal full of fight
I feel like the ocean and the sun's rays
that reflects off of it
I feel like i'm not tethered to a body
I am just visiting in this form
For now
until I am screaming out in agony for truth
As I stretch the limits of my physical vessel
to test the edges on the daily

What we consider
Two "ends" of a spectrum
May overlap more like
A Natural Continuum

I feel fluid and limitless

Never understanding why people assign themselves
so willingly to the confines of a check box

Like if gender was a target
Then I've been missing the mark
for as long as I can remember

Hopeless shooting at a different target
Far beyond
#nonbinary #beyond the binary #nonconforming #genderfluid
