"Who I am"
One lonely day, God was giving us our genders,
He was already tired from this morning's agenda.
Saw our souls floating in the air.
With a sigh, he booted us down to Earth without care
And he said, "Figure it out when you get there."
Chorus:
Well, thanks to him,
I'm figuring out who I am the hard way,
These feelings burn up inside me all day,
Thought that maybe somebody could understand me today,
Don't assume I'm gay, misunderstood, or that I pray this'll fly away.
I've been led astray from the road to freedom,
But I promised myself that I'd stay.
But I promised myself that I'd stay.
One starry night, you lay in bed,
Wondering why you feel different from the herd,
Our souls are hanging by a thread,
Almost ripped to shreds
by insecurity that strikes us every breath.
All because God said, "Figure it out when you get there."
Chorus:
Well, thanks to him,
I'm figuring out who I am the hard way,
These feelings burn up inside me all day,
Thought that maybe somebody could understand me today,
Don't assume I'm gay, misunderstood, or that I pray this'll fly away.
I've been led astray from the road to freedom,
But I promised myself that I'd stay.
But I promised myself that I'd stay.
One sunny morning, years have gone past,
You've staggered, stumbled and fallen but you've made it back,
Our souls are picking up the pieces along the track,
As you make your way towards freedom with ease.
'Cause God said, "Figure it out when you get there."
Chorus:
Well, thanks to him,
I'm figuring out who I am the hard way,
These feelings burn up inside me all day,
Thought that maybe somebody could understand me today,
Don't assume I'm gay, misunderstood, or that I pray this'll fly away.
I've been led astray from the road to freedom,
But I promised myself that I'd stay.
But I promised myself that I'd stay.
One lonely day, God was giving us our genders,
And he said, "Figure it out when you get there."
Well, thanks to him,
I'm figuring out who I am.

Creation and Destruction are only Perception.
I relate in the way that I don't fit with the herd in regards to gender and what is 'feminine'. I resent the way I'm treated and am expected to act because I'm female, and it frustrates me because few understand - all I want is to be treated like a person, someone who won't be mollycoddled and will be given the opportunity to take on danger and challenges.
Because I'm female and if I ever needed to get out there and fight for something I'll be held back and expected to be sit back passively and be 'protected' because "I'll get hurt". They forget women have warrior's pride, too. =\
Bah, I'm rambling, it probably doesn't make sense to anyone outside my life and doesn't really relate to the poem.
Good luck with your situation, I have a male friend who wants to be female. Perhaps you could get a sex change one day.
Spiritually, I believe people have certain 'genders' aligned with their spirits which don't really have anything to do with their biological sex ('masculine' souls aren't necessarily male in body, and same with 'feminine' souls; those souls are just called those names because our culture has certain expectations of masculinity and femininity), but this society thinks that woman = feminine and man = masculine, and that's that.
In my perspective you're a female with a masculine soul, and it's nothing to be ashamed of. People just don't understand because they think there are only two genders. There's about five, I think.
Sorry, I must sound confusing.
