Matthew

Jew fro,

No go;

I’m still Jewish as a guy

I am Matthew

Just like Melissa

With messy curls

Frizzy and quirky

Weird and silly

Sad and happy

Crying and laughing

Matthew, my mom said she’d name me as a son

I know I’d love you just the same

Swirled with smoky dreams

And bursting wild,

So silly to think

But I hope you know

Feelings never die

No they don’t

They can transfer

But they certainly don’t die

But I think it’s true

I’m

Matthew

And I’m

Still me no matter what

And my identity is human

And a silly, frizzy haired Jew
