my identity is not yours I claim who I am and where I stand with that you cannot label a fox just because it is red you can't call it a bird just because it cries it isn't a wide ocean just because it holds water my identity is mine I call the rules and labels and how I am called you cannot change the code written in my mind you can't say it's a computer when it holds nothing more than the parts for a phone you cannot label a fox just because it is red my identity is not yours I claim myself whoever that may be is not yours to write

My pronouns are
my identity is not yours I claim who I am and where I stand with that you cannot label a fox just because it is red you can't call it a bird just because it cries it isn't a wide ocean just because it holds water my identity is mine I call the rules and labels and how I am called you cannot change the code written in my mind you can't say it's a computer when it holds nothing more than the parts for a phone you cannot label a fox just because it is red my identity is not yours I claim myself whoever that may be is not yours to write
