Untitled (Identity)
I have been called many names.
Cas
Crazy
Cutie
Boo Boo
Babydoll
Bekkah
I respond to all of them, and yet none seem to fit.
I thought it had to do with gender, but I think it is more than that.
She is comfortable, what I was born with
but They fits too.
The face in the mirror is not me.
Logically, I know it is
that is how the world sees me
so I dress it and paint it how I see fit
but it is not me.
Some days I find her beautiful, hard to look away from.
Others not.
I see her fatigue, her pain.
I exist behind some frames
hands and feet moving at my command.
But I have no form.
I have no identity.
I float through life, whims dictate my goals.
Values dictate my goals.
But…
I don't know who I am.
I don’t know if I ever will.
