I Take My Coffee Luke Warm
a poem about accepting who you are.
Judged by others or maybe I just think I am,
Represented wrongly or maybe not
I feel different from those over there,
I see them looking why do they stare?
Why do they care if my name is jack or claire,
Should I cause a scene and make my family angry,
Different egos and different morals,
Should I force people to remember my Pronouns,
Am I in the wrong for wanting to wear par jeans rather than a thong,
Am I wrong for wanting to wear a suit instead of a gown,
My sexuality is nobody's business but my own,
This body is mine and the decisions I make are my own,

The title intrigued me because it reminded me of Revelation 3:15-16.
Funny how ppl care about stuff when it doesn't affect them-great poem
