What Must I Be
I like cooking and keeping a neat home I like flowers, paintings, and writing a poem, I must be a girl, boys don’t like those things I once played football, baseball, and won championships, I like science, engineering, and big unique ships, I must be a boy, girls don’t like those things I have more in common with homosexuals I know So I must be gay, many people told me so But I’ve only been attracted to the women I’ve known So I must be straight, that’s all I know According to the world today I must be everything, every day, But that’s impossible, you know it too, What must I be, what must I do? I will be the only thing I can be I will be me. This is 100% true to my life. I have been told all these things growing up. My heart aches for anyone different growing up today. Don’t listen to anyone but yourself.

Mental Journey
I am on a journey of the mind. Contemplating the universe on every scale, and doing a complete introspective exploration. I may never be a literary academic, but I share my humble thoughts in hope that they may inspire others.
