Stuck Inside

In here, there is no there is no light. 

Pure hell. 

I sing. I dance. I laugh I cry. I try to see the world the way it's "supposed" to bee seen, but I can't see the light.

I try my makeup on. The ebony lips, the tiara, no, this suit of armor, these shorts, and now they want me to go into the army and be a man. And I am one on the inside. 

Well, sort of. 

But who says who's supposed to be what now?

It's all a lie.

The war starts tomorrow.

I can't fight for what I love.

If they get to me.

But I won't let them.

Not ever.
