Queer
Location
I wish I could tell you
about myself:
that I love the whole spectrum of gender
and that I feel so uncomfortable
in my own skin
that I want to peel it all away
and become new
one without the secondary characteristics
to hold me back and that make me
scratch and scratch to release.
I wish I could tell you
that I want to read about others like me
so that I know that I'm not alone
that I don't have to be silent my whole life
and that others have felt the way I do,
with a passion bubbling inside their chest
waiting to burst out and scream to the world
"I'm here, I'm here"
I wish I could tell you
I'm queer
