“You always play a female”
Line stated at game night
An observation of behavior
No one know rings hollow
I state I have reasons
But do not state one
“You always play a girl”
So close, but so far
How sad it is that my escape
Is how I can feel rooted
Inhabiting another just to feel at home
“You always play a chick”
Noted but not answered
A bitter confession rise
Tasting of bile, anger, and freedom
“You never play a guy”
I do but you just don’t realize
It’s what I do every day
“You always play…”
You spot the pattern but not the meaning
All I do, every day, is play
