Living In Between
She closed the book
With the evidence etched on her heart
How can she go forward
Without knowing WHERE to start
Going from this abyss to understanding
He jerked the report out of the doctor's hand
He could be gone today, tomorrow
Without TIME to make a simple plan
Why is SEX so important to being
Can't I just be undetermined
Living....in between...the line
Of knowing and learning
WHO I AM
He passed a mirror and saw his breasts
"If I were a woman It could be expected
Why can't it be in a normal place
Where speaking the condition doesn't get me disrespected?"
She can't unlearn what WISDOM has birthed
Nor can she continue on this path
She will finish the course...in between
Standing strong against fear of wrath
They hate me, my LOVE
Why does my presence bring lack to light
I just wanna be me in every moment
A ray of hope in the thick of night
THAT's WHO I AM
