When asked to check a gender on forms I am constantly forced to lie. I have filled in the _m box for most of my life but I resent having to do it. I think many transexuals are quite comfortable filling out either the _m or the _f box and I must say I envy them. In my dream world there would also be a choice that said _t because then I, too, would have a box to comfortably check as my place in society -or at least in the society of form-filling paperwork.
My gender is neither male nor female but Trans.
Well, I think that just about covers the basics.
Thank you so much for honoring me by taking the time to read this.
Whenever I dress cool,
My parents put up a fight
And if I’m a hotshot,
Mom will cut hair at night
In the morning I’m sure of my identity
I scream Mom and Dad
Why can't I be who I wanna be? - to be?
I just wanna be myself,
And I want you to love me for who I am
I just wanna be myself,
And I want you to know, I am my Hair
[Chorus]
I’ve had enough
This is my prayer
That I’ll die living just as free as my hair
I’ve had enough
This is my prayer
That I’ll die living just as free as my hair
I’ve had enough
I’m not a freak
I must keep fighting to stay cool on the streets
I’ve had enough, enough, enough
And this is my prayer, I swear
I’m as free as my hair
Sometimes I want to rock on some highlights aha aha
Just because
I want my friend to think that I am dynamite aha aha
And on party, roxy, high school dance
I got my bangs too hard
That I don't stand a chance
A chance
I just wanna be myself,
And I want you to love me for who I am
I just wanna be myself,
And I want you to know, I am my Hair
I’ve had enough
This is my prayer
That I’ll die living just as free as my hair
I’ve had enough
This is my prayer
That I’ll die living just as free as my hair
I’ve had enough
I’m not a freak
I must keep fighting to stay cool on the streets
I’ve had enough, enough, enough
And this is my prayer, I swear
I’m as free as my hair
[Bridge]
I just want to be free, I just want to be me
And I want lots of friends that invite me to their parties
I don't wanna change,
And I don't wanna be ashamed
I'm the spirit of my Hair
It's all the glory that I bare
I am my Hair!
I'm my hair, I am my hair
It's all the glory that I bare
I'm my hair-am my hair
I'm my hair-am my hair yeah!
[Chorus]
I’ve had enough
This is my prayer
That I’ll die living just as free as my hair
I’ve had enough
This is my prayer
That I’ll die living just as free as my hair
I’ve had enough
I’m not a freak
I must keep fighting to stay cool on the streets
I’ve had enough, enough, enough
And this is my prayer, I swear
I’m as free as my hair
Already, the sound of the wind
Echoes there
Yes, everyone
Sows a new seed
An old poem is spoken
In the ruins of that cliff
Oh waves
Smashing the shore
What are you still
Lamenting?
The names
Of those who have left
Shall never vanish
If I embrace
And accept
My sorrow now
The light will shine again
Beyond my tears
I’ll let my heart flow
With the vast river’s current
Even if it’s all a dream
Like the moon dancing on the water
I can live my life
No matter what happens
Maybe one day
My pain
Will be rewarded with love
Please tell me
Why is strife a way of life?
Please answer me
This bond asks the question
Though the same sky is everywhere
Sometimes the clouds are wounded
And call forth rain
Until the light shines again
Beyond my tears
I’ll let my heart flow
With the vast river’s current
Even if it’s all a dream
Like the moon dancing on the water
I’ll live my life
On this distant path
