why do i have to worry about gender identity,
what is the point of figuring out who im meant to be,
who are people to decide it for me,
the educated and the self-proclaimed "free",

why is it such an issue to just be yourself,
no need to declare that you're repaired,
why cant both sides be wrong?
why cant i just dismiss the issue?

"personal identity helps your mental sanity",
you cant help something that isnt there,
"being gay is against God's will",
they claim using a 2000 year old book,

what's the deal with gender identity,
the thing defining all who we're meant to be,
our world splitting in half; cant you see?
and your personal identity gives me no guarantee,

that it will free me from my memory,
will it take away the pain from me,
i just want to become other,
take my old self, grab a pillow, smother,

why is it such an issue to just be yourself,
no need to declare that you're repaired,
why cant both sides be wrong?
why cant i just dismiss the issue?
