Written because people can't see the real me.
I am neither boy nor girl
Man nor woman
Adult nor child
But you know me

I am the one sitting in the corner
Crying until my heart bleeds
The one treated as an unwanted foreigner
Knowing nothing of what I need
You continue on in your self righteous religion
And you know me

You hate me for my darkness
My weight using wasted space
Truth can not make you recognize
The hurt you bring when you give chase
Fight me off, tooth and nail
You think you know me

I am neither boy nor girl
Skin makes us who we are
See threw the skin and tissue
See to my insides and push them away
See straight down to my being
And then you may know me
