Boy or girl?

Man or woman?

My parents cry and say no.

I am a girl, they say.

I am causing my dad to have a heart attack, they say.

I am a disappointment, a loser.

This is a phase.

Boy or girl?

Man or woman?

My friends say yes!

I am a boy!  I am Kurt.

I feel confident.

I feel manly.

My parents cry.

I feel sad.

Boy or girl?

Man or woman?

For my parents' sake, I am both.

One when I see them, another when I am alone.

Boy or girl?

Man or woman?

I honestly don't know.
