Growing up, I never fit in well
I was a girl with boy hair, boy clothes, boy actions
I was a boy with girl toys, girl writing, girl voice
I realize now, I've never been a "one or the other" kind of person
I don't know how much I really believe in astrology,
but my signs say a lot about me;
Born on the cusp of two opposing signs,
Masculine and Feminine,
Fire and Earth,
A contradiction since birth;
Red diamonds and pink emeralds
I am the shadow of the volcano,
I am the fire and the earth that it burns,
I am the lava which flows from the peaks,
raging and roaring until I've crushed and consumed all;
and yet, I am the light of the sun,
the fertile earth born fron the chaos,
the ashes that feed the flowers,
the sprouts that grow with hope of a better future
I am both, all at once
and it makes no sense
People tell me to just pick one
"You can't be two at once!"
And yet, I am
I am the bull as much as I am the ram
I am the boy as much as I am the girl
I am two things seen as opposing,
but I do not oppose myself
I melt together perfectly without worry of what it may look like from the outside
I don't make sense
and I don't have to
