You're Okay,
I'm Not So Sure About Me!

 
by Andrea Lena DiMaggio
 

I've had something on my mind
that has troubled me...just a tad.
So I'd like to share some verse.


 

I feel like now addressing
expectations for confessing
and just accept that my crossdressing
should be allowed no room.

I should reject my gender,
while being an offender
merely for remaining as when
I left my mother's womb.

I'm not the "right" religion;
so as not to cause division
I should think now of revision
and cast my faith away.

I chose the wrong profession,
this being my confession;
I'm sad for my transgression
So I'll abandon it today!

I should have written prose
which satisfied all those
I guess, surmise, suppose
who wanted something else, I gather.

I feel somewhat rejected,
as some have might projected
which I should have just expected
even though nothing's the matter.

And I might just feel alone,
but that's probably all wrong;
Since I'm singing this sad song
for more friends than I can say.

So have a care, please do
when you're convinced of what is true;
that I'd never critique you
In the same judgmental way.
