What am I?
In a way that question is easy to answer
I'm human of course
At least that's what I think
~
Biologically I was born Male
The XY chromosome is my proof to that
But my heart asks me
Does that really matter at all?
~
Yes I know what my body is
But my heart is quite unsure
Am I Male? Am I Female? Or somewhere in between?
I don't know the answer to that
~
Who am I?
Again that's pretty simple to say
I was given the name Joshua
But maybe it's Josephine
~
She's my emotions
The tears called upon unannounced
She's my singer, my step, and my bounce
She's beautifully irrational when I just need to dive
~
She's what makes me want to write
She's what makes me want to grow
She's the understanding
She is part of me
~
He's the rock that's held me up
He's the one who kept me from crumbling
He's the one I turn to when I need a plan
But at the same time he's the one who has held me back
~
He's the one who held me steady
When I wanted to fall apart
He's the one whose rational
But he's also the one with a closed heart
~
Every step of these questions
Has been beautiful and yet terrifying
But now I have to ask them
Who am I?
This was written as something of a coming out poem. I've been wondering how to tell people about this. So I did it the only way I really know how. But I still don't fully know that answer myself. Thankfully I have two amazing partners who have supported me every step of the way in this journey. If you enjoyed this or if it spoke to you then please like. Till next time.
