Who am I
To you

Possibilities of us are everywhere
But with my secret
I don't have time to spare

How do I tell you?
Will you hate me?
Or will you accept it, too?

Pretty darling dresses
With a long hair bow
Long hair that expresses
Fit me from long ago

Dirt matted cleats
Sweaty all around
Sweet orange treats
Tackled to the ground
Feels all wrong

How can I be strong?

Scorn
Glances

Do they all know?
Know the pain I must undergo
To get here
And all the hateful words I must hear?

Fake hair
Glue stuck nails
Will you stare?

Fear grips inside
As I stare back into your eyes
Which have most surely cried
Tears for I

Accept me
Please!
I want you to see

My cries are silent
As I scream inside
Everything violent

How will you understand
If I never step forward

Let go of my hand
I must do this on my own
Into a new land
I must go

This will never be easy
