Who are you?
You sit here most every week
With a smile on your face
Yet you barely even speak.
Why are you around?
I can never understand
And it's not getting any better
With your words guiding my hand.
You whisper your desires
Daring me to try your ways
Unaware of the struggle you cause
And the pain brought each day
You don't belong here
I try to scream
You don't hear
Because you are me.
So give me some answers
To the questions i don't dare voice
Because i am you
And I've been given no choice.
You keep me awake at night
And asleep in class
You tug at my thoughts
Until i force you to pass
But you won't stay gone long
For you are a part of me
And i still can't accept you,
My burdening identity.
Lately I've struggled with gender identity on top of just generally not knowing or understanding myself.
