Poem: Fluidity

Fluidity, LGBT poem by Daphne Tore / Dean Thorpe

I want to tell you a tale
Of someone not quite male or female
When I get up each morning
While all the others are still yawning
I am struggling to know
If it’s a girl or boy that will show
It’s because inside my head
Is a mixture of genders instead
Part male, part female, part none
It’s not something i’m choosing for fun
I cannot choose it at all
I just have to get up and stand tall
Knowing a girl is inside
Maybe a boy not wanting to hide
I am not mad or crazy
Not picking a genders not lazy
Some days I really am male
But others so completely female
Most days it’s more of a mix
It’s not a problem I want to fix
Please tell me who does it hurt
If some days I need to wear a skirt
I am open about it
Always happy to talk about it
All I want is to be free
To be whichever I need to be
I feel so lucky to know
My partner loves me whoever shows
My partner does understand
That it’s not something I ever planned
Proud to have her by my side
Now my true self never has to hide
