I Am Your Son

I am your son
Why don’t you see me?
I am your son
Know God said love reigns?
You can put me in a dress,
Wrap me up in femininity
But I am still your son
And if you think that you know
Better, I ask you honestly
To consider why you have such defense
Against truth, my intuition
And I know that you crave understanding
But I am just as thrown
That you would rather have a
Despondent Daughter
Than a change and happy Son
