I want to write this poem,
to show everyone how I feel.
but I’ve been hiding that all away for no one to see
from everyone, from me.
I'm afraid to show what they feel
but I know that you don't mind
because its all inside and that’s what's me,
honestly,
and I can't be me without the e,
and the e is my free,
free to write, and express, and not hide my feel
ings from anyone, even me. with the e.

So I’m writing this for us,
meaning you and me,
and her, in the corner, and the guy on the street, too noble to ask for help, and the guy on the street too desperate to refrain from asking for help, because I see the pain in their faces and I wish I could show them the way to be happy, but I don't know it myself, but I try,
I try, and I fly
with my words, my expression.
I have a vision
a mission
to know myself, and once I do I will have fulfilled everything I need to do, which means I will not need anything more, a knock on death's door, but now I can’t die cuz I haven't learned to cry again, and I’m sure the real me, with the e, would only be, naturally, beautiful, which I am not, or rather, I can't believe I am even when people say I am because seventeen, vogue, everything shows me in airbrushed quality what I wish I could be and I’m not.

And when I can be attracted to couples on the street,
to people’s moving feet, in vans or sneakers or high heels, when I can show people what they need to do to accept me and those around me who I know are waiting to come out to someone who’s totally cool with their skin color and their orientation and their views on "liberation" and I know I am a minority but that’s okay, because it’s me and I wouldn’t, couldn’t be anything else except maybe you because I know you feel me when I feel alone and you’ve never met me but I saw you perform and you moved me, and so I write poetry about my own sexuality, femininity and I wish I could perform for you, and I can’t imagine how it must feel to be real, because I can’t convince myself I am real, even though, in me you can see the freedoms and greed and selfishness show through in my beautiful flawed homo sapien way, unique of your beautiful, flawed homo sapien way.
