At age 12, I meet a girl named Poly, her tongue was sharp as a knife, questioning everything i said, she spun my actions into blades and threw them at me, her eyes a bright red as she told me stories, stories of a guy named Alexander, her lips curled at the end of each word, she says, Alexander is happy, He lives in a world greater than your own, Poly tells me to cut my hair, at night her voice booms, telling me who I should be, but her black hair drips into my veins, who am I, i ask her to leave, i beg her, but her lips curve into swords and tell me, she tells me a truth that i fear, she points a mirror at my crying face, in the distance i see him, i see me, i see Poly, her name is, Poly Gendered...
