Acceptance of Identity
What a world we live in
All seeking acceptance
For who and what we wish to be
In this messed up society
Male or female or non binary
Gender fluid relativity
People can should be what they want to be
Regardless of acceptance by society
This need to have yourself accredited
Could be seen as attention seeking and negative
Just identify as to the authentic you
Don't worry what others think or say about you
It's not your business how they perceive you
Because you know it's wrong and not who you are in truth
It's just an image created within their own minds
Of you it does not have to define because it's just their imagination
That they are inclined to let run ahead of truth and facts
So be authentic in how you act
And being who it is you need to be
But understand that if you label yourself
They will put you in a box, turn the key and you are locked
Into that identity and definition for ever more
And you could be even more restricted than before.
