Who I’m Meant to Be

July 17, 2023

This label I was handed
left me alone and stranded
because it doesn’t fit the real me
this isn’t what I want to be

Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry
Sometimes I raise my hand and ask why
I can admit that sometimes I don’t know
But I can still let myself sparkle and glow

I hope you can understand
That I’m a person, not a woman or a man
I’m nothing like what society
wants or expects me to be

I’ll toss that label aside
And look inside and outside
And find the label that fits me
And be who I’m meant to be

I hope one day soon, truly
That you will stand up and join me
