Who am I?

What am I?

I have questioned myself since I could talk

I was given this identity from the day I was able to walk

My father calls me daddies little girl

But I don’t feel like I can live up to that label

My mind races and begins to twirl

I am very unstable

I have struggled with this through out school

And it caused me to never be accepted or cool

My body changes in ways I feel it shouldn’t

To stop time but I couldn’t

I mature into this woman unwanted

Finally able to understand why I’ve felt so haunted

By my label as a female

I understand I am whom God made me

But he knows

My life isn’t what others see

It’s a life I oppose

Cut my hair short to feel new

Began wearing men’s clothing too

It felt right for once in my life

I finally sensed the courage to come out

This was the beginning of a new route

I am transgender and I am proud

And I am finally allowed

To be the man I have always felt myself to be
