‘Just be yourself”, they say
but what do you do
when being yourself
is a girl
but some days a boy
and other days you don’t even feel
like you’re any of those two?
What do you do
when being yourself
is something you can’t explain
something you can’t expect people to understand?
What do you do
When you can’t be yourself?
When you have to introduce yourself by your birthname
Because you simply can’t have two names
When you are still your parents daugther,
No matter how you introduce yourself?
What do you do
If being yourself
Is something that is not accepted by most people?
Enlighten me please.
