Shut the fuck right up
Or you will see fucking violence
I don't wanna swallow lies
I'll no longer sit in silence
You will say my name correctly
And respect the pronoun -They-
It's something I don't take softly
And yet every fucking day

I do a mental calculus
With everyone I meet
My doctor, colleagues, vendors, friends
And people on the street
I have to decide
To see if they are worthy
Of taking up my time
Comfort, energy, safety


See, I have to go to a place
A murky, iresome part
Of my heart
Every time
That I start
To disclose,
To explain,
To impart
On to those
Who complain
Think I'm insane
It's a pain
To have to

Justify
Exactly why
I exist
Why I'm not cis
Why don't I just take
The factory make
Of my "type"
I hate to gripe
....but actually -Fuck You-

I am who I am
Hard won
And fucking sought for
And if I have to
You best believe
What I am I'll fucking
-Fight for-
It took a long time for me to know
Enbie was the way to go
So I do understand
It's hard, but I'll not hold your hand

See, I have to go to a place
A murky, iresome part
Of my heart
Every time
That I start
To disclose,
To explain,
To impart
On to those
Who complain
Think I'm insane
It's a pain
To have to

Justify
Exactly why
I exist
Why I'm not cis
Why don't I just take
The factory make
Of my "type"
I hate to gripe
....but actually -Fuck You-

I'll continue to live proudly
Say my name loudly
And demand you do the same
This isn't a fucking game
And if you try
To deny
Or even sigh
At my existence?
Well then
-Fuck You.-
