Title: Poem, "The struggle of choosing a Gender Identity."
Post by: Coffeedrew on December 11, 2018, 06:07:30 PM


The struggle of choosing a Gender Identity.

There are two doors in front of me

I stand divided

Which do I choose?

Biology says I'm this

My mind says I am that

My favorite color is pink

I am conflicted

Others say it could be a sickness

I feel alright but you say I look blue

I say to myself the choices are many

More than a few

How do I divide a line

When there is more than two

I have to make a choice

Some will be mad and others will rejoice

The pressure is killing me

What is my choice?

You say it should be simple

For there is only two

I ask myself for clarification

What if I lay somewhere in between?

For you the answer could not be any clearer

For me it cannot be defined
 
by looking in the mirror

Very nice, says a lot of what many of us go through!

This is worthy of entry into Alaskan Danielle's second edition of Susan's Writers and Book Readers (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,237827.0.html)

Hugs and smiles, Jess
