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 Written by Trudy Schrader on 10-21-2018
