my therapist says
not to let your feelings become you
but how can i
when the world is chaos
and my thoughts are only one’s of reason
Aiden Sep 2017
you ignore all my feelings
you pretend everything’s ok
you try to understand
but it’s been more than a day

it’s been months
and you still think
i’m just
making this up

you say god made me this way
why did he?
if i just have to suffer through this
through your complete ignorance
through your false hopes

because
you think
that your little girl
has died

you think
that i’m just going to
change my mind

really,
your pain is just
making you blind

blind to the harsh reality
i face
every day
in my mind

sometimes it hurts
to be alive

i’m broken

just like this poem
with it’s off rhymes
and a meter that’s just wrong

i’m broken

They ask if I bleed
I do not want to answer
It's the wrong body

i’m sitting in study hall
going about my day
suffering silently
because that’s what normally happens.

anyway
i’m sitting in study hall
just thinking
and
minds should come with
warning labels
don’t you think?

because i’m thinking about my life
thinking about my future
thinking about right now
and how hard it’s going to be
to continue like this

to continue
in my life
suffering silently

i’m a parrot in
a world
filled with sparrows.

a human
in a world
filled with zombies
waiting for me to come out
so they can attack

i’m silently trying
to stay alive,
i’m silently hoping
for a better future.
but hope is scarce,
and life is hard
so i’m losing hope

too many people asking who i want to be
where i want to go to college
and
“do i have a boyfriend yet?”

no grandma i don't have a boyfriend
no i don't want one either
you see
i like girls
and hey,
i'm actually a guy

i didn't actually say that
grandma wouldn't understand
instead i have to suffer through her endless
“there's some cute guys i can set you up with”

why is “normal”
for girls to like guys
and guys to like girls
(i had to read over this
to make sure i was getting
it straight)

why is it “normal”
to plan out a child's life
by what's in between their legs

why are people
transphobic
homophobic
why are people like that

like
get over your fears
i'm not gonna hurt you
leave me alone
and i’ll gladly do the same

aliens must think we’re really weird
there are too many people in the world
for this amount of hate
had a bad day and grandma just topped it, thanks grandma

my heads up in space
but
please give me grace
im
working at a slower pace
and
im not in a very good place.

you say you believe me but that’s a lie
you know,
sometimes i’d just rather die
you don’t
believe how i identify
you know
it doesn’t hurt to diversify.

When I was a girl
I played with dolls, put on dresses like other girls would
I never fit in, though i didn’t know why
guess I was too girly for the other guys


Now since I’ve grown up
it hit me all of a sudden
i’m not a girl even if i was one
I’m a guy and I don’t want to put on dresses or makeup
I want to be myself and act like I want
thanks
