about me.

thanks, but no thanks.
i'm not asking for your opinion
i know who i am
i know that i'm real
and i don't live in your dominion...

not me.

thanks, but no thanks.
i'm real, i'm not a pretender
i know who i am
i've known all along
and i won't let you define my gender

i'm me.

thanks, but no thanks
please stop telling me you accept me
the more that you do
the less that it means
and it sounds more like you disrepect me...

yes, me.

thanks, but no thanks.
your words have lost all their meaning
you hear what you want
despite what I say
and when you speak it feels quite demeaning

to me.

thanks, but no thanks
please don't presume to define what I say
I can speak for myself
to convey what I believe
so please just turn and walk away...
