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.
