Experiences of a Nonbinary poet: Brother

You smile like it's nothing Like you haven't just said something that cuts me to the bone Do you know what you're doing? Surely you must I've asked you to not To use something else Don't you see the hurt you're causing? I question if you have no empathy Or are just blind to other's feelings Don't you understand that what you're doing isn't just using a name But making me feel like nothing? Making me wonder In a time that I'm already so confused If I am wrong? If maybe I just don't belong? If, perhaps, I should just move on? That maybe if souls and reincarnation exist That in the next life I'd be better off? Why do you think it's ok To pull me into this pain? I trusted you. Why did I do that anyway? I trusted you And yet you throw my trust away so carelessly? You know I don't trust lightly So why do you do this to me? I trusted you!
