Before..
Before time was really time,
Before words were really words,
And before insecurities became common...
I always wanted to be more than "She, her, herself"
I recall my words tumbling over the air molecules
As they try to make sense
But out in the open, I was truly mistunderstood by those with experience
Thinking that I was too underdeveloped to understand what I was saying
But I understand myself more
And defined my prefered gener pronound
As alien
I wanted to be different
I didn't just want to be black
I don't want to be defined by my hair
I don't want to be defined by the clothes I wear
On my back
As I said before, I'd rather define myself as Alien
They said I was mother nature
They said I was graceful, but came in like a bull
They said I'm fashionable and I have this magnetic pull
They said I am an angry young woman, but I am also beautiful
They said I should smile more, But I have no reason to
I say I am not cocky, but I am confident
I say I am not angry, I just think too much
I say I'm not fashionable, Its just my outlook of the world
I say I don't smile cause I'm determined to be a better me
If defining myself was easy
I would have 3 simple words
But knowing that its me
I hesitate on my free verse
I don't want to say too much, or too little
But if I was to put it simple
I am..
A singer
I am..
A writer
I am...
A poet
I am...
An artist
But I want to make it clear
I am not a girl
I am not a woman
And nor will I contribute to social hierarchy in the world
I am an Alien
And will be defined such as so
Because my prefered gender pronoun
Saves me from alot of things you don't know
