Now and then, I think to myself
What if it's all just one big lie.
Such feelings I leave on a shelf,
There they remain, left until they die.

Truth told, I don't know who I am.
Yet, I'm convinced up to the sky
That really, they don't give a damn.
There I remain, left until I die

Does it matter, woman or man?
All the time, I ask myself why.
Feelings only some understand,
But they remain, left until they die

What if they're all just one big lie
Still they remain, left until they die
Okay sooooo this poem could have many interpretations I realize, all of them centering on identity.

BUT I wrote it because I had a good cry tonight, as I don't feel beautiful.  I don't feel like I'm feminine.  I don't feel like I'm that woman I'm 'supposed' to be.  And in alot of ways I feel guilty about it.

To explain, I have a condition called PCOS - causes infertility in a lot of women.  I won't elaborate, but lets just say one of the many markers is higher than normal testosterone levels, which as one might guess, leave women with traits characteristic of men.  Again, I shall not elaborate, but sometimes, it just feels like I am stuck in between, and that's what for me this is addressing.

Of course, you are welcome to take it to heart however you wish, elaborate in comments if you wish on how it makes you feel, though keep in mind, every one has different struggles, and it doesn't make them any less important.
