The Way I Am

The Way I Am

A Poem by Nelyn Salvaleon

Loose shirts, long pants, knee breeches
I'm a man whenever I wear these garments
I look male when I look pale
But I'm one hundred percent female

There's nothing wrong with my gender
Perhaps my style ain't the style for a typical girl
But I'm a woman, that's for sure
I'll never give reasons to anybody for me to twirl

I'm a woman in heart, mind, and soul
And I am not afraid to fall
As long as I don't do something foul
I can stand on my feet after downfall
