STORY STARTER

What would a poem about a non-binary person's daily life look like?

Pride Collection 22:Non binary.

Filled out a sheet at the doctors office

Check a box


Male_

Female_


But neither are correct

Neither suit me

Neither fit

Why isn’t there another option

Even an other box would suffice


Got misgendered at the coffee shop

Should I cut my hair?

Why add sir or ma’am

When you can just say have a good day


There was some positive

Though small at that

A kid smiled

Said they liked my hat


I went to get clothes

Got odd looks

in every department

Mens, Womens, Clearance


Went to unlock my apartment

My neighbor called me by my name

Asked my pronouns

Used them right

And went on their way


Ordered a pin on amazon

Has my pronouns

Easy to see

Maybe someone will realize

I’m just trying to be me
