I'm needy
I'm small
all these
years
have taken
their toll.
I need to
break down
this wall
take charge
of my life
stand tall.
The people
stare at me
everyone is
super aware
of me
I'm a very
different
kind of
person who
lives life
their own
version of
cool, nerdy
androgynous
just being
myself but
I consider
it only my
business.
Now a days
in the house
on the hill
government
buildings
want none of
my ilk.
Telling me
what bathroom
I can use
just another
excuse for
non binary
abuse.
I am not
going to
change one
little bit
I'll still
be here in
four years
when that
orange
devil's time
has been all
spent.
I'll survive
because I'm
not just a
phase so
putting
love over
hate is how
I plan to
spend my
days.

I'm not Non-Binary. I'm 63 years old, been a female all my life BUT if I was Non-Binary I would shout it from the rooftops and cuts out anyone in my life who felt they needed to be an arse about it. If you don't like what I write there's really no need to even comment at all, tbh.
Those last lines? Just great!
Amen, Sam. One day someone's gonna eat that Cheeto alive, no matter how stale, rancid & bitter it has become.
That's right! Stand up for yourself and for your rights! Never pull any punches!
Non-binary people are being victimised like never before. Love before hate and give people the space to live their way. Bless you for this beautiful ode.
Sam… I love you. I do. But.. That hateful homophobe in DC did not determine what bathroom you use, biology did. Sorry. Identify as whatever makes you happy with yourself…, but use the women’s bathroom.
EXCELLENT! When the rumpty dumpty is gone. Be yourself regardless of some lunatic is paranoid about what bathrooms some people go to. It is only an issue with the small tooled orange buffoon. (Just sayin)
