they're not right
nothing is right, nothing,
each word hurts & stings & pricks in the corner of my brainunsettling is the word
and it doesn't sit right,
and i want a word that fits this
this masc fem enby fluctuating this
these pronouns arent right sometimes and theyre fine others
and she /her is not me but
neither is he/ him or they // them
it isn't good slash righti am ve/ver (s) and it/its (s) and xe/xyr (s) but
there is no word for the
sometimesveisrightsometimesitstoomuch (sometimesitsnotenough)there isn't a word and that hurts
and the one there is doesn't fit it hurts i hurti am trans (technically) and i am nonbinary (technically)
but they are such cookie cutter words
for something i am not it's not right
i am not right i am too specific to be right
for these people who try to accept mei am specific and i am broken
because these known words aren'tagenderflux is not a word
i'd like to crack it in half,
except it's the only one that fits( 12.21 )
