Ode to Me
Some of my random thoughts and feelings.
I don’t feel man enough,
My face is way too girly.
I can never be ‘tough’,
Coming off more as surly.
____________________________________
Being who I see in mind,
The man I know I am.
Leave the feminine self behind,
Not feel like a giant sham.
____________________________________
It’s deep in my head,
The person I want to be.
But the mirror lies instead,
Showing the unreal me.
____________________________________
Never know how to feel,
When I look at my face.
It started to seem unreal,
An imposter in my place.
____________________________________
Limited is my feminine shell,
It’s too hard to move around.
Womanhood is my social Hell,
Unable to drown out the sound.
____________________________________
Maybe one day I’ll be myself,
The person that I see.
Get off my mental shelf,
And finally I’ll feel free.
